Fabiana Romero's estranged husband threatened to kill her and then himself if she ever left him, according to court records that documented years of spousal abuse.

Three days after their 20th wedding anniversary, he made good on that threat.

Fabiana Romero was gunned down in the breezeway outside of her new apartment at Villa del Sol condos in south Orange County Wednesday. Jesus Romero, her estranged husband whom she had filed for divorce from and had a permanent injunction against, was found dead nearby from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, deputies said.

The Romero's four children, ages 17 to 7, were at school when the shooting took place. It's unclear who will take care of them.
