Man kills wife while kids were home – NBC 6 South Florida

Police say a man apparently shot the mother of her three children in northwest Miami-Dade on Saturday morning and then shot himself while the children were home.

The fatal shooting occurred around 8:34 a.m. after the man showed up at the apartment in the 12,000 block of West Randall Park Drive in Westview. He argued with the victim, police said, and shot her before committing suicide.

The shooter and the victim had separated several months ago, according to Miami-Dade Police Detective Andre Martin. The man did not live in the house.

They had three children together, ages 15, 13 and 9, all of whom were at home at the time of the murder, Martin said.

The 15-year-old called 911, police said.

Her parents, whose identities could not be immediately determined, died at the scene of the accident, according to authorities.
