"No One Makes Me A Fool"


"RIO HONDO, TX — Investigators are calling a double fatality a murder-suicide, the result of a man’s fear that his common-law wife was cheating on him, Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio said Friday.

"Jose Sanchez, 39, told his cousin he was going to kill Marisela Galvez Villarreal, 45, because she had come home late for two nights, Lucio said in a news conference.

"Lucio said investigators believe Sanchez used a .380-cailber pistol to kill the woman before shooting himself in their home near Rio Hondo.

"A neighbor may have made the 911 call that came from the couple’s home in the 33100 block of Farm-to-Market Road 106 about 10:30 p.m. Thursday, the sheriff said.

"The bodies were found in a bedroom of the house where the couple had lived for more than a year, Lucio said.

"Investigators found three .380-caliber bullet casings at the scene, but Lucio said he didn’t have information to release on the bullets’ entry wounds, adding that autopsies had been ordered.

"Lucio said Sanchez was drinking when he called his cousin about 5 p.m. Thursday to tell him he planned to kill Villarreal.

"Sanchez reportedly told his cousin that he thought Villarreal was cheating on him because she had come home about 1 a.m. on two recent nights, the sheriff said.

"`No one makes me a fool, this worthless old woman,` Lucio said, quoting the statements the man made to his cousin. `I’ll kill her with my pistol and then I’ll kill myself.`"
