Police: Florida City Man Killed Wife, Then Self
FLORIDA CITY (CBS4) – A distraught man reportedly took the life of his wife in front of her Florida City home before turning the gun on himself.
Sunday evening, just after 7:30 p.m., Apolinar Piedra, 43, confronted 36-year old Valencia Piedra in the driveway of her home in the 18500 block of SW 355 Terrace. As the two argued, police say Apolinar Piedra pulled out a gun and gunned down his wife. He then drove off.
A short time later police found his body slumped in a vehicle pulled off to the side of the road at SW 344th Street and U.S.1. Investigators said he had taken his own life.
Police have not said what the two argued about or what may have caused Piedra to kill his wife.
