According to the report, Banks, a 27-year-old man, was accused of shooting her 24-year-old wife Hernandez in his apartment in Houston on the evening of the 22nd local time. The Harris County Sheriff's Office said the couple's toddler daughter and 20-month-old son were at home at the time.

Banks initially claimed that he and Hernandez were just "fighting" when the gun went off, but later said the two had a physical altercation over the content of the text messages on his phone and Hernandez shot himself in the head. Neighbors told police they heard Banks screaming shortly after the gunshots rang out that his wife had "shot herself."

But police said the couple's daughter witnessed the shooting and told them "Daddy shot Mommy." Prosecutors said in court on the 24th, "The police talked to a young witness who told the police, 'Daddy shot Mom.' She stroked the pistol with her hand. Police spoke to another witness who said the child told her, 'Daddy shot Mommy.' ’”

Banks was arrested at his home and charged with murder, and his bail was $75,000. The two children were not injured and are currently cared for by their families. (Editor: HHJ)
