Stephanie Amaris Hernandez, 21, was found dead in her North Little Rock home on Sunday, September 27, 2015, the victim of a fatal gunshot wound. Her two young daughters survive her. In the hours before her death, Snapchat photos showed Hernandez with her boyfriend, who appeared to be pointing a handgun at her. Police found the house in disarray and blood on the floor.

Investigators identified 20-year-old Rafael Gonzalez as the primary suspect. A roommate reported Gonzalez cried and said he accidentally shot Hernandez before fleeing. Officers later arrested Gonzalez and charged him with first-degree murder. A pistol and ammunition were recovered near the residence, and Gonzalez reportedly had a prior felony conviction that barred him from possessing firearms. Friends and family described the relationship as tumultuous and had expressed concern for Hernandez’s safety.

Does anyone have information about the couple’s relationship or the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
