"Murder after dispute in Dallas" In the case of the murder of two hospital employees, the accused was sentenced to life imprisonment

Dallas: A Dallas County jury on Thursday found 31-year-old Nestor Hernandez guilty in a shooting at Methodist Hospital in Dallas last year that killed two hospital employees.

On October 22, 2022, social worker Jacqueline Pokua (45) and nurse Annette Flowers (63) were shot dead at Dallas Methodist Hospital.

In his statement, Hernandez admitted to shooting and killing social worker Jacqueline Pokua and nurse Annette Flowers. But he said he didn't do it on purpose.

His girlfriend Selena Villatoro, who was in the hospital room with the newborn, was arguing over whether or not Hernandez was the father. That's when I saw Pokuwa entering the room. She entered between us. He yelled 'stop'. ""I panicked, opened the door and boom, boom shot twice," Hernandez said. He told the jury he did not know Flowers, a nurse, was in the hallway when he shot her.

Prosecutors had decided not to seek the death penalty in Hernandez's case. Hernandez's defense attorney, Paul Johnson, asked the jury to consider the lesser charge, but it was not. Judge Chika Anium sentenced Hernandez to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
