Dr. Joseph Sonnier was killed in his own home, which has left police and his family with a lot of questions.
After David Shepard was found guilty of murder in 2013, NBC Dateline is finally going to talk about the brutal killing of a famous doctor that wasn’t very well planned.
It was said that another doctor named Thomas Dixon, his ex-crazy girlfriend’s and obsessed ex-boyfriend, was at the center of everything.
What happened to Becky Gallegos, who used to be married to Joseph Sonnier?
Becky Gallegos, who used to be married to Joseph Sonnier, was shot and killed by her second husband, Fermin Gallegos, on July 12, 2010. Fermin then turned the gun on himself.
Becky was shot twice in the chest and lying on the floor of the living room when the police arrived. Officials said that she had died at home.
The release says that Fermin Gallegos, her second husband, was shot in the head while sitting on a couch. A black-and-white dog that belonged to the family was shot next to his right leg and killed.
When he was 19, Dr. Joseph Sonnier married Becky Gallegos, who had been his girlfriend for a long time.
In October 2001, Joseph and Becky broke up. They lived in Dallas. Cindy Kahre, who used to be Joseph’s sister-in-law, said that despite the divorce, she still thought of Joseph as a close friend.
Where Are the Children of Joseph Sonnier and Becky Now?
Joseph Sonnier and Becky Gallegos had two sons, Joseph A. Sonnier and James Sonnier. They took in a third child, Phillip Prestwood, who was like a son to Joseph.
Lubbock police detectives ruled Wednesday afternoon that Joseph’s death at home, where he was found, was a murder.
Joseph A. Sonnier IV and James Sonnier, two of Joseph’s sons, told ABC News: “My brother and I also lost our mother two years ago, but it wasn’t the same kind of tragedy. There is no doubt that the two things have nothing in common.”
“There were many tears shed, but there was also a sense of hope that my father’s murder had been solved,” the brothers wrote in their statement. “We have full faith in the justice system in Lubbock and are sure that justice will be done.”
No one knows where his sons are right now, but they must miss their father and mother and feel lucky to have such loving parents.
Why Did Becky Gallegos Second Husband Murder Her?
Deputies in Gillespie County say that a man shot himself, his wife, and the family dog to death on Monday morning.
Chief Deputy Jim Judd said that Fermin Gallegos called 911 to report the shooting before turning a Smith & Wesson pistol on himself in their home in the 1880 block of Reeh Road around 7:40 a.m. Monday.
The gun was found at the scene by deputies. Fermin Gallegos was able to fly to University Hospital, where he died at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, according to the news release.
Officials said that the shooting happened because of a fight between a husband and wife, but Judd said that deputies had never been called to the house because of domestic problems.
Still, no one knows for sure why Becky was killed.
