I hope her poor children did not have to watch their mother be murdered. That is all. Calcoastnews will just delete anything else I have to say.

Might want to check that name. All other news agency are reporting a different person was killed. Either there were 2 of these tragic murders, or someone made a major mistake.

She married Humberto Jacobo Chavez ,an American citizen. Merino is her maiden name.

Yeah, I figured that out after I posted. It still seems odd to use her maiden name in this story.
