According to police, Inesta was sitting on the couch unloading his gun while his wife, 45-year-old Glenda Inesta, was making drinks in the kitchen.
Inesta, believing there were no more bullets in the gun, pointed it at his wife's head and asked "Where's my drink?" and pulled the trigger, police said.
The gun discharged, hitting Glenda Inesta in the left eye. She later died at the scene.
