Fatal Shooting in St. Cloud Domestic Dispute

News summary

A domestic dispute in St. Cloud, Florida, escalated to a fatal shooting on Saturday, resulting in the death of a woman and the arrest of her husband, Jose Manuel Otero-Fontanez, who faces charges of first-degree murder. Police responded to emergency calls around 6:41 p.m. and were met with gunfire but did not return fire, opting instead to deploy a drone to assess the situation. A crisis negotiator successfully persuaded Otero-Fontanez to surrender, after which police entered the home and found the victim's body in a bathroom. Two children, aged 10 and 24, were present during the incident but escaped unharmed. St. Cloud police Chief Douglas Goerke expressed condolences for the children and emphasized the tragic nature of the event, stating, "Our hearts go out to the children who lost their parents here tonight." The investigation is ongoing, with authorities expected to release more details soon.
