Hours after getting out of jail on domestic violence charges, a Colorado man shot his way into a house and killed his ex-girlfriend, her sister and her sister's husband, authorities said.
Then Daniel Sanchez took his own life, Weld County Sheriff John Cooke told reporters.
Sanchez, 31, and Beatriz Cintora-Silva, 25, broke up a couple of months ago, Cooke said. According to a 911 tape, Cooke said it appeared that Sanchez had suspected Cintora-Silva of cheating on him and that the shootings stemmed from jealousy and domestic violence.
Cintora-Silva had moved out of Sanchez's house in Longmont, Colo., and had been staying nearby with her sister, Maria Cintora-Silva, 22, and her sister's husband, Max Aguirre Ojeda, 32. All were killed in the early morning shooting.
Sanchez had been arrested over the weekend on suspicion of kidnapping and assaulting Beatriz Cintora-Silva, Sgt. Tim Schwartz said. He was released on bond from Boulder County jail about 10 p.m. Monday, a few hours before the shootings, authorities said.
"We are trying to piece together where he went from 10 o'clock till about 4:13 [a.m.] when we got the call [about the shootings] — so we don't know those hours just yet," Cooke said.
Cintora-Silva was warned before Sanchez's release, Cooke said at the news conference. He said he thought she had been told that it was unsafe to stay at her sister'shome.
