Day Care Parking Lot Shooting A Homicide-Suicide

FAIRFIELD, Ohio —A coroner says the shooting of a man and woman found dead inside a sport utility vehicle at an Ohio day care center was a homicide-suicide.
   
Coroner Richard Burkhardt in southwest Ohio’s Butler County said Tuesday that 46-year-old Evelyn Restituyo was a homicide victim, shot once in the thigh and once in the back of the head. Burkhardt says her wrists and ankles had been bound with white plastic ties and her body was found in the back seat.
   
Burkhardt says 47-year-old Francisco Restituyo committed suicide through a single gunshot wound to the temple. The coroner says his body and a gun were both found in the front seat of the vehicle.

The bodies were discovered Monday in the SUV, which was in the parking lot of the Jelly Bean Junction day care in Fairfield.
