The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office has released the names of the husband and wife killed in a murder/suicide at a Metairie apartment complex Monday afternoon. The couple was identified as Yosaria and Francisco Fernandez, according to Col. John Fortunato, spokesman for the department.
Deputies were called to the Windmill Creek Apartment Homes at 3501 Apollo Drive just before 3 p.m. after receiving reports of two people shot.
Investigators later determined that Francisco Fernandez, 32, approached his wife, Yosaria, 31, in the back parking lot of the complex where they both lived and shot her several times. He then turned the gun on himself.
Yosaria Fernandez was taken to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Francisco Fernandez was pronounced dead at the scene.
