The suspect and his spouse argued over infidelity and resulted within the Texan officer being shot

MESQUITE, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) – A sworn affidavit said an infidelity argument between the man accused of killing Officer Richard Lee Houston II and his wife and daughter resulted in the fatal shooting.

According to the affidavit, Jaime Jaramillo’s wife Juventina Vazques Bences, 43, and daughter Yalziry confronted him after they caught him in a car with another woman with whom he was having an affair.

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.

Houston responded to the call and arrived in the Albertons parking lot a short time later.

Recordings from Houston’s body cam and in-car camera show Vazques Bences picking up a gun and walking to the woman’s car, according to the affidavit.

Vazques Bences was therefore arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a lethal weapon. She is currently in the Dallas County Jail.

Jaramillo threatens the murder of a peace officer.
