ARLINGTON, Texas — Arlington police say a woman and her ex-boyfriend died in an apparent murder and a suicide at their home.
Police say the woman's 19-year-old daughter early Monday discovered her mother dead in a bedroom. The victim was 44-year-old Margarita Santos-Najera.
Police say the teen hid in a closet with her unharmed infant child and called 911.
Police who were arriving heard a gunshot from within the house. Officers discovered the body of 41-year-old Antonio Astello in another bedroom.
Investigators believe the pair had split up, but Astello was still temporarily living in the home and he killed Santos-Najera, then took his own life.
The daughter's name was not immediately released by police.

We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
