Court documents show a woman killed over the weekend was afraid of the man now charged in her death.
Armando Mosqueda is charged with first degree murder.
Eyewitness
News went looking for more information on him and found that Jeannie
Jacobsen asked for a restraining order against him just last week.
Jacobsen was found dead in her Lyons home Sunday morning. Mosqueda was arrested near Houston later that night.
The
crime scene is still surrounded by police tape, and the investigation
is far from over. Still, police say they knew exactly who to look for
when 31-year-old Jacobsen was found dead in her home.
"We knew what was going on there," said Chief Chris Detmer, Lyons police. "She called and said that he bothering her."
Even
neighbors knew there was trouble. Michael Latiolais last saw Jacobsen
on Saturday at a Halloween event. Later that night friends took a photo
of her at a party, where she was dressed as an angel.
"The
other neighbors were asked to watch the house in case he came by," said
Michael Latiolais, who lives across the street from Jacobsen. "But no
one thought it would go this far."
In the restraining
order, Jacobsen wrote that the abuse started months ago. She accused
him of choking her, leaving bruises on her shoulders. She said that he
threatened her, saying if he couldn't have her, no one would.
Mosqueda was also convicted of aggravated battery against another woman in 2007.
He now faces a charge of first degree murder in Jacobsen's death. He will be extradited from Texas back to Rice County.
