Stephanie’s boyfriend, 20-year-old Rafael Gonzalez, is now being held by police as a suspect in the killing.
A woman in Little Rock, Arkansas, who posted a selfie showing her boyfriend in the background pointing a gun at her was found dead hours later by a roommate, authorities said.
According to the arrest affidavit, a friend said that Gonzalez “accidentally shot Hernandez” and that he “routinely plays around with a pistol”. “In her back…it is just mind-blowing”.
Local media reports that Gonzalez, 20, was arrested on Monday and is being charged with Hernandez’s murder.
Family and friends, like Jaquinlan Davis, told Channel 7 News Hernandez’s home was ransacked.
“I knew his history and everything, and I knew he was a bad influence”.
“Then … this happened”, Hernandez’s sister, Camryn Startz, said. “I wanted to tell her. I wanted her to come with me actually when I left”.
Davis also said he saw Hernandez earlier that day and she had made a unusual purchase for her boyfriend.
According to KARK, Stephanie Hernandez’s family is caring for her 3-year-old daughter and 8-month-old baby girl.

It’s unclear what led to Gonzalez allegedly shooting his girlfriend. “It’s just real hard”, she told KATV. They’re going to go through enough trauma growing up without a mom – at least they didn’t have to witness her gruesome death.
