A grisly scene unfolded last Thursday in an Arlington Expressway apartment complex when 20-year-old Adiel Marquez Gonzalez was arrested after his mother was found dead. According to a social media post by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO), patrol officers responded to a report of a domestic dispute and discovered Dulce Maria Martinez Guash unresponsive. She was declared deceased at the scene.

The JSO Homicide Unit took swift action, detaining and interviewing Gonzalez shortly after their arrival. Their investigation led to the subsequent arrest of Gonzalez, who now faces charges of Murder and Kidnapping. "Your Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office works tirelessly on every homicide to make sure each and every victim gets the justice they deserve," the JSO communicated through their public announcement. He is now held at the Duval County jail as the legal proceedings commence.

Details about the argument or the motives behind the tragic incident have not been disclosed at this time, and it remains unclear what led to the deadly outcome. As the JSO continues its investigation, Gonzalez's actions are bound to be scrutinized, opening a window into the dynamics that culminated in this domestic tragedy.
