<p class="mol-para-with-font">A 24-year-old San Antonio woman who was more than eight months pregnant was shot and killed by her ex-boyfriend right in front of their two young sons before he turned the gun on himself on Christmas Day.<br />
William Bayles, 27, is in critical condition in a San Antonio hospital after the family of the victim, Gabriella Rodriguez, identified him as the shooter.<br />
Rodriguez’s mother, Rosario Gutierrez Garcia, told <a class="class" href="https://news4sanantonio.com/news/local/pregnant-woman-shot-and-killed-by-ex-boyfriend-in-front-of-her-children-mother-says?fbclid=IwAR2rduBgQJUGqahTwmVUMPFWjaH-OZhnvMWIosErK3Ezxh6ZDEg9Xs2PZNs" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WOAI-TV</a> that her daughter was dropping off her two sons, ages 6 and 2, at Bayles’ home.<br />
Garcia said that even though her daughter had broken up with Bayles a year ago to escape an abusive relationship, she was determined to continue to co-parent their two young sons.<br />
‘I’m going to be honest it was a very tumultuous relationship,’ Garcia said.</p>
