COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) -Two families are in mourning after a couple was found dead at a south Columbus business Tuesday afternoon.
Gonzalo Garcia, 38, is believed to have shot his fiancée 27-year-old
Victoria Jacquez in the head and then himself, becoming the fifth
homicide this year.
Garcia was a captain assigned to the 199th infantry regiment here at
Fort Benning. He moved here from Fort Bliss, Texas with Jacquez in
October.
Authorities say Garcia used a 40-Caliber Smith and Wesson hand gun
to commit the crime, and Jacquez didn't even know it was coming.
It's still unclear why Garcia took his fiancée's life and then his own. Authorities say they did not find a note on the scene.
News Leader 9's Brittany Dionne went back up to the scene Wednesday
to try to speak with the employee that found the couple but they
declined to comment on the case.
