3 Oakdale deaths called murders, suicide
3 Oakdale deaths called murders, suicide

A day after a 6-year-old girl ran out of her Oakdale home with bloody hands, screaming that her mommy and daddy were dead, police labeled the shooting deaths of her parents and a live-in baby sitter a double murder-suicide.
The Ramsey County medical examiner ruled that Cintia Guadalupe Ornelas Bustos, 28, and Angela Uscanga Gonzalez, 43, died by homicide and that Jamie Anival Almaras Velasquez, 32, died by suicide. Birth records spell Velasquez's first name as "Jaime" and third name as "Almaraz."
Oakdale police would not say explicitly that Velasquez was the shooter. "We're not trying to make that leap, because it's so early on in the investigation, but it is likely that that is the case," police spokeswoman Michelle Stark said.
She added there were no signs of forced entry at the home.
Ornelas Bustos and Velasquez had three children together, but whether the couple was legally married had not been confirmed, police said.
The medical examiner determined all three died of gunshot wounds to the head. Police found a handgun and spent ammunition at the home.
Police said the three knew each other and there was nothing to suggest the slayings were random acts.
The couple's 3-year-old son, Brandon, was home at the time of the shooting but was unharmed, friends and family said.
Friends and family said Ornelas Bustos and Velasquez had been married for eight years. Gonzalez's family said she met the couple through their church and had lived in the homefor two months.
An incident report taken Thursday said police were called to the house at 7015 13th St. at 4:12 p.m. to investigate two people inside "that may be dead and blood everywhere (sic)."
A history of police calls to the home showed one in 2008 concerning an assault with intent to inflict bodily harm. Oakdale police said the case involved "an arrest of Velasquez for domestic assault involving a roommate at the address and not one of the female victims in this case." There was no record of a conviction.
However, Velasquez was convicted twice, in 2004 and 2007, for driving while impaired. His priest said Velasquez had had a drinking problem but had quit several months ago.
The couple's 6-year-old daughter, Cynthia, a first-grader at Skyview Elementary, discovered the bodies just after she returned home from school. The girl ran back outside screaming, "My mommy and daddy are dead!"
A neighbor whose child is a friend of the girl called police.
The couple's third child, identified by a family friend as Jamito, 8, a third-grader at Skyview, got off the school bus with his sister but stayed outside, playing with other kids. Friends said the children were staying with Ornelas Bustos' father in St. Paul.
The family's priest, Oscar Amparan of the Apostolic Church of the Faith in Jesus Christ in Minneapolis, said he had gone to the home Monday and Tuesday to counsel the couple. Velasquez had just returned Sunday from a trip to his native Guatemala.
Friction had started between them, the priest and another family friend said, after Velasquez heard rumors that Ornelas Bustos had been involved with another man. The priest and friend said it was not true.
Friends, family and co-workers said the family had appeared in church and the couple had gone to work Wednesday and seemed fine. Ornelas Bustos owned a roofing and siding business, All Seasons Siding and Roofing, which Velasquez either worked for or co-owned with her, Amparan said.
Velasquez was born in Guatemala and Ornelas Bustos in Mexico. Friends said both arrived in the country about 14 years ago.
The priest said all three of the dead were undocumented and had family in their native countries. Gonzalez also had two adult children, a son and daughter, in Minnesota.
