A pair of young children in Texas will now live the rest of their lives without their mother — along with the added trauma of witnessing her violent death in a tragic murder-suicide earlier this week.
Arazeli Ruiz, 24, a devoted and beloved mother of two, was shot and killed by Fernando Fernandez, 31, on Monday morning near Conroe, a major city in Montgomery County, roughly 40 miles north of Houston and part of the broader metropolitan area, authorities say.
After the victim was dead, Fernandez then turned the gun on himself, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.
