Albertina Acosta, victim of a murder-suicide, is Kansas City’s 72nd murder victim in 2010

Another marriage has ended in bloodshed, this time in southeast KCMO, where police say 64-year-old Florensio Rojo shot his wife to death and then turned the gun on himself.

A family member found Albertina Acosta, 62, dead in a bedroom at the couple’s home, near 27th and Cypress. The witness found Rojo, too — but he was still alive, the shotgun wounds to his chest not yet enough to kill him. Rojo, a native Chihuahua, Mexico, later died at Truman Medical Center.
