A 51-year-old man called 911 on Sunday night to report that he had shot his ex-girlfriend in downtown West Palm Beach, according to police.
Dimitri Reynolds, of Riviera Beach, faced charges on Wednesday in Palm Beach County for the death of Vivienne Otero, a mother of five.
“Me and my girlfriend got into it, we were fighting, and the gun went off, and I accidentally shot her,” Reynolds told dispatch.
Police officers found Otero at Clematis Street and Sapodilla Avenue, and arrested Reynolds for second-degree murder.
Otero’s brother Jaime Otero told WPBF that he had custody of her children, who are aged 7 to 16 and described her as a great mother.
“She would literally catch a grenade for her kids.She just was really adamant about making sure her kids were raised the proper way,” Jaime Otero said.
