Jennifer Cruz, 27, was shot to death at her home in the 5000 block of 44th Street in Lubbock, Texas, on April 18, 2015. Her new boyfriend, Albert Bo Martinez, 30, was also shot and killed during the same attack. Jennifer’s ex-husband, David Ricardo Carrillo, was arrested shortly after the killings.

During the trial, testimony and evidence showed Carrillo broke into the home through a window armed with a .40 caliber handgun and confronted the sleeping couple. A 911 call made by Jennifer during the attack captured her pleading for Carrillo to put the gun down. Carrillo later confessed after hearing that 911 recording and led police to where he had buried the gun. Testimony also established Carrillo had made prior threats against Jennifer and her boyfriend; a former lover, Jennifer Sustaita, testified about discussions in which Carrillo described intentions to kill them.

Carrillo was found guilty of capital murder for the double slaying and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Does anyone have information about Jennifer or Albert’s lives in Lubbock that could add context to what happened?
