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.
