A woman in her twenties, who was a former regional beauty pageant winner in Mexico, was found dead from a gunshot wound in an apartment in Mexico City. According to reports, her husband stated during the prosecution's investigation that his mother shot his wife during an argument.

According to Mexican daily newspapers El Universal and Reforma on April 22 (local time), Carolina Flores Gomez, aged 27, was found dead from a gunshot wound in an apartment located in the upscale Polanco district of Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico City, on April 15.
Carolina was a former model and was known as the winner of the 'Miss Teen Universe Baja California', a regional preliminary beauty pageant.
According to local reports, Carolina's husband Alejandro and her mother-in-law Erika Maria were present at the scene at the time of the incident. The husband reported the case to the public prosecutor's office on April 16, a day after the incident, and during the investigation, he reportedly testified that "his mother shot his wife during an argument."
