Ocala, FL: Man fatally shoots estranged wife, then himself

The Associated Press

Ocala police say a man fatally shot his estranged wife, then turned the gun on himself.
Police identified the victims Tuesday as 41-year-old Elliott Torres and 40-year-old Marta Torres. A police report says Elliott Torres confronted his estranged wife where she worked, fatally shooting her before shooting himself.

The couple had recently moved to the Ocala area from Fort Myers. Marta Torres filed a report last week that said she was scared of her husband. Officers were told to keep an eye out for the yellow Hummer he drove. The wife had also been granted an injunction against her husband.

The couple leaves behind five children.
