The Cameron County Sheriff’s department is investigating an apparent murder-suicide in Brownsville.
Investigators said the crime happened around 1 a.m. Sunday at 1046 N. Illinois Rd outside city limits.
According to Sheriff Omar Lucio, deputies arrived to find 43-year-old Sergio Candelario Llamas and his 38-year-old wife Maria Del Socorro Gonzalez dead.
Sheriff Lucio said the couple’s son was in the home and heard gunshots coming from his parents' room.
The son allegedly ran over, where the sheriff said he saw his mother’s body on the floor and then allegedly witnessed Llamas shoot himself in the head.
At this time investigators have not released a motive, but said Llamas has a history of family violence.
