Aida Mendez allegedly shot her children, their father and a cousin before committing suicide took a video of herself on her iPad as she smoked methamphetamine prior to the killings, according to authorities.
The four family members involved in an apparent murder-suicide at a Central California apartment all died from a single gunshot wound to the head, according to preliminary autopsy results released Tuesday.
Police arrived to find Lopez outside the Silver Lakes Apartment with knife and gunshot wounds, said Lt. Mark Salazar, homicide commander for the Fresno Police Department.
Officers heard a muffled shot from inside the first-floor apartment and discovered Mendez had killed herself, her boyfriend’s cousin, Paul Medina, 27, as well as her two children, 17-month-old Aliyah Echeverria and Isaiah Echeverria, 3.
A 7-year-old neighbor girl who was in the apartment escaped unharmed.
Fredddy o lets stop the blame on the so called man and take responsible for what she did only. she was depressed and probably wasnt getting support from her man who also probably did not have a job thats the only reason a pretty girl like this was get so extreme and did what she did.
