Lauzurique-Gonzalez’s ex-wife told investigators they were arguing and that Lauzurique-Gonzalez was jealous, saying she divorced him because she was attracted to the brother-in-law, the report said.
She said Lauzurique-Gonzalez told her “I’m going to solve a problem” before he left and returned, and a short time later she heard gunshots and saw Lauzurique-Gonzalez holding a gun and the victim shot, the report said.
The brother-in-law said the four had been living together for about three months, the report said.
Lauzurique-Gonzalez was booked into jail and on Thursday, appeared before a judge, who appointed him a public defender and ordered him held without bond.
