Katiusca Guedez De Cotiz, 40, a Hispanic/Latina woman, was shot and killed on the morning of September 16, 2025, at the Wings Carwash & Washateria on Deacon Drive in College Station, Texas. Police began receiving 911 calls just before 9 a.m. reporting gunfire near Longmire Drive and Deacon Drive. Responding officers found two people in a car-wash bay; both were pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators determined the woman had been washing her car when a man approached her.
In a desperate attempt to protect herself, she sprayed him with the high-pressure washer, but he produced a firearm, shot her at close range, and then turned the gun on himself. Authorities described the event as an isolated domestic incident with no ongoing threat to the public.
Police identified the man as 43-year-old Wirmer Jose Cotiz Escobar, who, according to officials, was married to Katiusca but separated at the time. Local reporting noted there had been prior calls or reports involving the couple, though details were not released. The location and sequence of events were corroborated by witness statements and surveillance video reviewed by investigators.
No arrests were made. The suspect died by suicide at the scene, and the case has been handled as a murder-suicide. Records and incident logs confirm the date, location, and classification of the shooting. Community outlets and regional stations echoed police statements emphasizing that detectives would continue reviewing any earlier reports connected to the couple, but there was no broader public safety concern stemming from the incident.
