Juarez-Corro, who was not invited, requested that he see his daughter, but his wife told him he was not allowed to see her. He became agitated and pulled out a handgun. He allegedly lined up four people and shot them all execution-style.[5] He killed his wife's boyfriend, along with a bystander who was also attending the picnic.[6][7]
