GEORGETOWN, Texas (TCD) -- A 38-year-old man stands accused of holding his estranged wife hostage and fatally shooting her.
According to a news release from the Georgetown Police Department, on Dec. 27, a juvenile called 911 and said that her father, Ricardo Quinones, entered her and her mother's home with a weapon and "was holding them hostage."
As officers tried to negotiate with Quinones, he allegedly fatally shot his estranged wife and fled the residence. Police said the daughter was able to safely escape through a window.
A search for Quinones began, and KTBC-TV reports police located him in an AT&T store parking lot in Columbus, Texas. Then, they took him into custody.
About two weeks before the fatal shooting, the victim, Lindsey Quinones, reportedly filed for divorce on Dec. 15.
Ricardo Quinones was booked into Williamson County Jail for murder and remains held on $1 million bond.
