Jaramillo, 37, reportedly shot and killed Houston on December 3 in front of an Albertsons on Belt Line and Cartwright Streets. Jaramillo then shot himself in the head.

The woman who accused Vazques Bences of having an affair with Jaramillo told police that she could not leave the parking lot because the two women blocked her and rammed her car and trapped it during the recording of the interaction, it says it in the affidavit.

She also told the detectives that Vasquez Bences repeatedly crashed into her car window while he was yelling, “Get out of here! I will kill you!”

The woman told investigators that she then called the police, the affidavit said.
