WILSON, N.C. — Authorities in eastern North Carolina say a man shot and killed his former girlfriend and her new boyfriend before he fatally shot himself.
WRAL-TV reported that Wilson County Sheriff Wayne Gay is calling the murder-suicide near Wilson a domestic violence situation. He said the woman sought a restraining order against the suspect last year but never followed through.
Investigators said 24-year-old Paola Aguilera Ayala had returned home from her job Wednesday morning when her former boyfriend and another person drove up to her home in a pickup truck. They said the former boyfriend went into the house and killed Ayala's new boyfriend, chased the woman into an adjacent yard and shot her, then turned the gun on himself.
The sheriff's office is searching for the truck.
