**Tragic Incident in Tijuana: Woman Fatally Shoots Romantic Partner**
In Tijuana, a tragic incident unfolded just hours before Valentine’s Day celebrations. On the morning of February 15, 2025, at a residence on David Patiño Street in the Ejido Lázaro Cárdenas neighborhood, a woman shot and killed her romantic partner.
The ordeal began at 10:38 a.m. when a man called 911, reporting that his sister, identified as 27-year-old Jenny Fernanda Pérez Ruiz, had shot her brother-in-law. Emergency responders and local police arrived at the scene, finding the victim, Erick Emiliano SalÃnas Esquivel, 29, with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Jenny stood over his body, armed with a gun.
Police negotiators engaged Jenny in an effort to de-escalate the situation, as she initially refused to surrender and threatened to harm herself. Ultimately, crisis negotiators from a specialized unit managed to persuade her to put down the weapon and surrender.
Law enforcement officers took her into custody, and a .40 caliber Magnum pistol was recovered from the scene. Jenny now faces charges as investigations continue.
