TYLER (AP/Staff) – Tyler police say a second person has died following a double shooting Tuesday. Gunfire blamed on a tenant killed the owner of the tenant’s residence — and the renter died later from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Officer Don Martin says the renter, 47-year-old Alice Aguilar (pictured), died Wednesday at East Texas Medical Center in Tyler. Police on Tuesday afternoon received a call of shots fired at a multi-apartment residence and discovered the body of 70-year-old Socorro Nunez in one unit. Martin says Aguilar was found unconscious, with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, in another unit. Police are investigating what led to the shootings and whether financial problems were involved.
