On January 18, 1993, Maritza Martin Munoz, a 33-year-old Cuban-American woman, was shot to death by her 34-year-old ex-husband, Emilio Nuñez, at Our Lady Queen of Heaven Cemetery in North Lauderdale, Florida.
Nuñez had been interviewed by Ocurrió Así television reporter Ingrid Cruz, who accompanied him when he visited his daughter's grave.
[4] As Cruz continued banging on Martin's car window trying to get her to answer questions, Nuñez left the grave site and returned to his vehicle.
Martin then left her own car, made a note of Nuñez' license plate number, then turned towards the grave, all while ignoring Cruz' constant barrage of questions.
The cameraman managed to film the shots while Cruz started screaming and ran towards the station vehicle.
