GREENTOWN, Ind. — The Howard County Coroner confirmed that Thursday's double shooting was a murder-suicide.
Autopsies conducted Sunday determined Aimee Romero was killed by a gunshot to her neck, and her husband, Richard Romero, died from a self-inflicted shot to the head.
Police said their bodies were found in a home in the 7500 block of East 300 South around 9:30 a.m. Thursday. Deputies were responding to a welfare check at the home when they found 51-year-old Richard "Chase" Romero and 43-year-old Aimee Romero, both of Greentown.
According to public records obtained by our partners at the Kokomo Tribune, the Romeros were in the middle of divorce proceedings. Court records show Aimee Romero filed a petition for the dissolution of marriage and later for a protective order against her husband.
