She was shot twice in the chest by her husband, Fermin Gallegos, during a marital dispute. Following the shooting, Fermin Gallegos also shot their family dog and then himself. The incident was determined to be a murder-suicide.
The couple had been involved in a heated argument, which escalated to the point where Fermin Gallegos, aged 62, fatally shot his wife and
their dog before taking his own life. Sheriff's deputies responded to a 911 call and found Fermin Gallegos with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head. He was airlifted to University Hospital but succumbed to his injuries later that day.
There were no arrests or suspects involved in this case, as it was concluded to be a domestic incident. The investigation revealed that Fermin Gallegos was responsible for the deaths of his wife, their dog, and ultimately himself. The case did not lead to any further litigations or legal proceedings, as the primary suspect was deceased.
