Felicitas Hurtado Gonzalez, an 85-year-old Hispanic woman, tragically lost her life on August 5, 2019, in a triple murder-suicide incident in San Antonio, Texas. The incident occurred at her home on Dream Valley Street, where she lived with her family. Felicitas was killed alongside her 67-year-old daughter, Josefina H. Gonzalez, and her 56-year-old brother, Jose Guadalupe Hurtado Guillen.
The suspect in this tragic event was identified as Ruben H.
Gonzalez, 28, who was the grandson of Felicitas and the son of Josefina. Ruben killed his mother, grandmother, and uncle before taking his own life with a gunshot wound to the head. The cause of death for all victims was determined to be gunshot wounds to the head.
The San Antonio Police Department responded to a disturbance call at the residence around 6 p.m. on August 5, 2019. When they arrived, they found smoke coming from the house and two bodies in the front yard. Firefighters were also called to the scene and discovered two additional bodies inside the home. The house was set on fire, and arson investigators believe an accelerant was used to start the blaze.
The motive behind the murders remains under investigation, and authorities are still trying to determine why Ruben Gonzalez committed such a heinous act. The community has come together to support the family, with a GoFundMe page set up to help cover funeral expenses.
This tragic incident has left a lasting impact on the family and the community, as they continue to cope with the loss of Felicitas and her relatives. The case remains a somber reminder of the devastating effects of violence and mental health issues.
