Divina Salgado, a 38-year-old Hispanic woman, was shot and killed on July 31, 2016, in Arlington Heights, Illinois. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office determined she died from a gunshot wound to the head and ruled her death a homicide. The shooting occurred at about 1:45 p.m. as Divina was returning home on 3rd Avenue with her one-year-old child. Her husband, Jose Arturo Salgado-Roque, 42 at the time, allegedly shot her shortly after she had asked him for a divorce.

Jose Arturo Salgado-Roque was located and taken into custody by the Cook County Sheriff’s Police and charged with one count of first-degree murder; he was scheduled to appear in bond court after his arrest. The couple’s three children, including the infant who was present during the shooting, were placed in the custody of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. Reports say the case later resulted in a conviction and a prison sentence.

Are there readers who knew Divina or the family and can share information about her life or the events leading up to that day?
