There, he reportedly shot and killed his ex-girlfriend’s mother, 39-year-old Jessica Rodriguez, along with her 9-year-old brother and 13-year-old sister. The suspect then fled the scene but was located and arrested by law enforcement about 40 minutes later.
The suspect’s ex-girlfriend was not physically injured in the incident, and police have not confirmed whether she was home at the time. “She’s not OK. But physically she was unharmed,” Police Chief Mike Gerke said during a press conference.
Chief Gerke added that the shooting appeared to be “targeted” and not gang-related. He also stated that authorities know who purchased the weapon used in the shooting but did not say how the suspect obtained it.
