The photos from Sunday showed the 20-year-old pointing his weapon at the back of Hernandez’s head.

Stephanie Hernandez, 21, was found shot dead inside a home on West Long 17th Street in North Little Rock, Arkansas, on Sunday.
These are the chilling Snapchat selfies sent by a young mum hours before she was found dead.
The caption on the Snapchat read “Strap chat?”, punning a slang term for carrying a gun. At around 7.30pm that same evening police found her body in her ransacked home in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
According to the arrest affidavit, a friend said that Gonzalez “accidentally shot Hernandez” and that he “routinely plays around with a pistol”.
It’s unclear what led to Gonzalez allegedly shooting his girlfriend.
According to KARK, Stephanie Hernandez’s family is caring for her 3-year-old daughter and 8-month-old baby girl.
Using the pictures as evidence, authorities arrested Gonzalez, 20, the following day and charged him with first degree murder.
“I guess they were loaded”. ‘I don’t understand how anybody can do that’. The hardest part, she said, will be explaining their mother’s death to them.
“My nieces have been crying all night”, Hernandez’s sister Camryn Startz told KATV.
“I knew his history and everything, and I knew he was a bad influence”, Davis told KATV.
Hernandez had just moved to her home and was preparing to begin her new job on Monday.

Friends and family told local news media that Hernandez and Gonzalez had an on-again, off-again relationship that made them nervous.
