On November 22, 1999, three young brothers in Santa Rosa Valley, California, were shot in their family home. Xavier Caro Jr., 11, and his brothers Michael, 8, and Christopher, 5, were each shot in the head at point-blank range and killed. Their 13-month-old brother Gabriel survived unharmed.

Their mother, Socorro Cora Caro (known as Cora), was accused of the killings; prosecutors said she acted to punish her husband, Dr. Xavier Caro, amid a failing marriage. After the shootings she attempted suicide but survived. At trial the defense accused Dr. Caro of framing his wife; the jury convicted Socorro Caro of first-degree murder and she was sentenced to death. Dr. Caro later filed for divorce and pursued a wrongful death suit that resulted in a $45 million judgment while family-court proceedings over the couple’s assets continued.
