Texas Man Accused of Slaying Estranged Wife

In Georgetown, Texas, Ricardo Quinones, 38, is said to be accused of shooting dead his estranged wife one day after Christmas, reported Meaww.

According to the police, they found the dead body of 31-year-old Lindsey Quinones in her house last Tuesday, January 3. Based on the court document, the wife was chained to the bed and shot in the face by the spouse. Sources say that Quinones had forcefully entered the wife's home, where he killed her. But their teenage daughter escaped through the bedroom window, noted People.

While waiting outside the house, the police alleged that they had been trying to negotiate with Quinones when they heard two shots fired and went in there. Quinones was able to escape, but a few hours later, he was discovered in Columbus.

Based on the 911 complaint, his 13-year-old daughter told investigators that when she woke up on Tuesday when she was sleeping with her mother, he was wearing all-black garments, a ski mask, glinting a flashlight into her face.

Even with his face covered to conceal his identity, the daughter was able to know him by his voice, said the affidavit. Next, the woman was dragged from the bed, mentioned Yahoo.

The wife told her daughter to listen to her dad, implying that the police should be contacted without becoming too obvious.

The young girl asserted she had seen her dad tie up her mom with cords and realized he had a knife in his pocket, as shown in the sworn statement.

She afterward made her way out of the house through a room window, where she was encountered by police officers who stormed in just after having heard two gunshots at about three in the morning, as said by CBS Austin.

The affidavit states that Quinones had told his wife that he would stab her and strike her with the gun. He attempted to cut the ropes of Whitman's legs, but he cut them accidentally, which caused bleeding.

A state trooper had informed the Fayette County Sheriff's Office that the person of interest and his car were seen going westbound along the I-10. The suspect was later caught at about 11 am.

According to KXAN, a parking lot in Columbus, the sheriff's office reported on Facebook. He allegedly told authorities that it didn't matter anymore; he was going to prison anyway because he went mad in the morning. The murder weapon was in the truck.

The suspect is currently being held at the Williamson County Jail on Thursday with a $1 million bail. The prison sentence for murder can range from five to 99 years. A Texas man who shot his estranged wife was recognized by his daughter, and he will be tried in court.
