"Mr Medina claims he shot his wife in self defence, alleging in a video statement to police he was a victim of domestic abuse; telling authorities his wife abused him and had been hitting and pushing him forcefully before the shooting. He claimed at the time of the shooting, Ms Alfonso came at him with a knife but he was able to disarm her. He grabbed the gun and shot her.
“Is Jennifer seen attacking Derek as he went upstairs to retrieve the firearm he would eventually use to shoot her dead?” Prosecutor J Scott Dunn asked lead Miami-Dade police Detective Jonathan Grossman.
“No,” Grossman answered.
In the footage, there were no indications Ms Alfonso was physical with her husband before he gunned her down in their kitchen. Police photos were introduced to evidence showing no signs of scratches, bruising or cuts on Mr Medina’s body."

According to prosecutors, Alfonso got into an argument in their bedroom with Medina over his lack of spending time with her. He brandished his gun there as she threw mascara and a towel at him and threatened to leave him.
Then, Alfonso went downstairs to make pancakes for her daughter. Medina followed and the blow-up continued in the kitchen. He left, went upstairs, got his pistol and returned to confront her when she grabbed a kitchen knife to defend herself, prosecutor Klein said.
Medina told Miami-Dade detectives that he disarmed her of the knife and returned it to a kitchen drawer before firing. “He wasn’t going to lose by letting her leave him,” Klein said.
Alfonso’s 10-year-old daughter was upstairs at the time of the shooting. Medina told her to stay in a bedroom, never worried she might come out and see her mother’s body, Klein said.
“He had time to post on Facebook but no time to call anyone to come and get [the child],” Klein said.
On Monday, two former co-workers at the Gables Club recalled that Medina spoke to them by phone immediately after the shooting. He apologized for not being able to come to work, then admitting to killing his wife."
And the poor kid was still waiting for her pancakes!
