Man killed girlfriend before shooting self in apparent murder-suicide, MDSO says
A man shot his girlfriend — then turned the gun on himself — in a suspected murder-suicide that began with gunfire and ended with a car crash in Miami-Dade, deputies say.
Deputies found 29-year-old Ana Beatriz Santo Rodriguez outside a home near the 1000 block of Northwest 127th Path in the Tamiami area Friday, according to police detective Joseph Peguero Rivera. She was already dead.
About three miles away, 48-year-old Liev Canals shot himself after a multi-car crash near Southwest 107th Avenue and Third Street, close to Florida International University, Peguero Rivera said. Canals was driving a black SUV at the time of the crash.
