Woman kills boyfriend in Town 'n' Country, takes her own life hours later in Alabama: HCSO

TOWN 'N' COUNTRY, Fla. - A man is dead after the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office says his girlfriend shot and killed him, then took her own life hours later.

Investigators spent all day Wednesday at a home on Shellgrove Court, at the corner of Lynfield Drive, after finding the body of Kelbys Avila, 50, around 7 a.m.

HCSO says Maira Pacheco Nuñez, 58, fired the deadly shot and drove away. Deputies in Baldwin County, Alabama, pulled Nuñez over hours later. That's when she shot herself, according to investigators.

Neighbors were shocked to walk outside and discover the scene Wednesday morning.

"It is a quiet neighborhood," Freddy Carrero said. "Back here, it’s really calm. Never had any issues. Never even had an accident over here, so it’s kind of strange to see all these police."

"For the most part, everybody waves and says ‘Hi’ and everything," Carrero continued. "There’s never an issue over here, since I’ve been here 26 years."

Sheriff Chad Chronister called the scene "tragic and heartbreaking" in a statement Wednesday evening.
