Palm Harbor, FL: Detectives: Estranged Girlfriend Shot Man

Pinellas County sheriff's detectives say an argument between a Palm Harbor man and his estranged girlfriend came to a deadly end after the man pulled out a gun during the confrontation.

About 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, sheriff's deputies responded to a 911 call about an armed person at 4002 Poinciana Court and found Eduardo Quesada, 66, had been shot in the upper body.

Quesada was taken to Mease Countryside Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 4:14 p.m.

Detectives say Raquel Pagan, 58, was at the home when they arrived. She told them she shot Quesada after he pulled out a gun during an argument. Deputies say they recovered a .357 magnum revolver at the home.

Investigators say the pair had dated off and on for the past seven years and Pagan had recently moved out of the home. They say the argument may have been related to Quesada wanting Pagan to move back into his home.

No charges have been filed at this time. Detectives are continuing to investigate the shooting.
