Around 9 p.m. Tuesday, Hialeah police announced they were investigating a 'domestic-related incident' that ended in the deaths of 28-year-old Clifford Renard Murray III and 27-year-old Rosemary Gutierrez. The couple, parents of a 3-year-old son, left him alone in the apartment for days before the police were alerted. The situation highlights the severe ramifications of domestic violence and the tragic neglect of their child, who was found dehydrated but unharmed.
