A Chicago love triangle turned deadly over the question of a kiss.
Claudia Resendiz-Flores, 28, was initially known to be a friend of 29-year-old James Jones and his girlfriend. The three were reportedly hanging out at Jones’ apartment, where he’d been allowing Resendiz-Flores to stay, as well.
Things took a turn when Resendiz-Flores asked Jones for a kiss. He declined and instead turned to ask his girlfriend for a kiss. Resendiz-Flores asked again, and when she was turned down a second time, she grabbed a gun she knew was hidden in the couch.
All parties involved were drinking and having a good time before things turned violent. Sadly, Resendiz-Flores aimed the gun she retrieved at Jones. He tried to get the gun out of her hands as she switched the safety off. But she lifted her arms and shot him once in the chest.
