GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Police say a 24-year-old Florida woman fatally shot her former boyfriend a week after breaking up with him.
A roommate of Katherine Jean Tonner found the body of 26-year-old Jose Ricardo Ortiz III in their apartment Monday. A police report says Ortiz had been living in Tonner’s apartment.
The Gainesville Sun (https://bit.ly/2kGFgwp ) reports the roommate told police he was in a third-floor bedroom when he heard three loud bangs on the second floor. Five minutes later he heard a fire alarm. He went downstairs, smelled something burning and saw Tonner’s car driving away. Then he saw Ortiz face down near the bed.
