Couple Dead After 3AM Argument


"MUSKEGON, MI — Muskegon Police have identified the husband and wife who died as the result of an apparent murder-suicide that occurred in the 1900 block of S. Getty Street early Sunday.

"They are Jesus Flores, 36, and Jennifer Flores, 35. Police said Jesus Flores apparently shot his wife to death, and then himself. Their bodies were found in the Getty Street home, where both resided.

"Officers were dispatched to the home around 3 a.m. Sunday on a report of a shooting. Upon arriving, they were met by a 33-year-old witness who said he was at the home when his sister, Jennifer Flores, and her husband began arguing.

"He told officers that during the argument, Jesus produced a handgun and shot Jennifer. The brother said that when his sister was shot, he turned to run from the house and heard more gunshots but he was not hit.

"Based on that information, officers believed Jesus Flores was still in the home, armed and possibly barricaded. The Michigan State Police Emergency Services Team was called in to assist.

"After numerous attempts to make contact with Jesus Flores, the State Police Emergency Services Team entered the home and found the husband and wife dead from gunshot wounds.

"`The circumstances leading up to the apparent murder/suicide are unknown at this time, and the investigation is continuing,` according to a press release from Capt. Andy Olson."
