A Modern Day Blanca de Saulles

This just happened. In Jupiter, Florida a woman named Donna Horwitz is under arrest for shooting and killing her ex-husband in their upscale home with a Smith & Wesson revolver. The victim was an attorney registered to practice in New York, Florida, Michigan, and D.C. and he was a licensed real estate broker. Although they were divorced, Donna had moved back in.... perhaps to be with their son? Apparently Mr. Horwitz cheated on her and was packed for a business trip planning to go away with a female business partner. He had told Donna to move out before he would return from the trip. Her quote for the newspapers, reporting later on her bail hearing at Palm Beach County Jail, has her saying, “He was so awful.” Except for the fact that they are in their 60s and their son is 37, the parallels are creepy!

Here is a blatant cut-and-paste from the CBS12.com new website.

JUPITER, Fla. -- A rocky marriage turned deadly when police say a woman in the process of moving out of the home she shared with her ex-husband shot and killed him. 

Donna M. Horwitz, 65, was arrested and jailed Thursday on a charge of first-degree murder with a firearm for the murder of her ex-husband, 66-year-old Lanny Horwitz. According to police, Lanny Horwitz was shot multiple times in the head, torso and arm on Sept. 30.

According to the arrest affidavit, a security guard for the wealthy Admiral's Cove community responded to an alarm call at the Mariner Drive home. The guard found Lanny Horwitz dead, face down in the bathroom with a handgun in his right hand. The security guard told police he was let into the residence by the son and mother.

Jupiter police officers arrived immediately afterwards and found Horwitz on the floor of the master bedroom bathroom, nude, face down, the gun in his right hand, and with a large amount of blood around him. According to police the glass door of the shower stall was shattered, with an apparent bullet impact. Water in the shower was still running.

The couple's son, Radley Horwitz, 37, who was staying at the residence, told police his parents had been divorced from each other twice before. He said he woke to two gunshots and heard his mother screaming. Radley told police his mother was pacing back and forth in the master bedroom and screaming.

When he asked his mother what happened, she said "he was so awful," several times. When he saw his father he said he was making a "horrible" gurgling noise, so he backed out of the room, according to the arrest affadavit.

Radley said his father's bags were packed to go on a business trip, possibly with a female business partner with whom his father may have had an on-going relationship with. The victim had also reportedly told his wife to be moved out by the time he returned from his trip.

Police found two guns, a Smith and Wesson revolver by the bathroom, in which all five bullets had been fired. That was the gun the security guard moved out of Horwitz's hands for safety reasons. The second firearm was on the dresser, also a Smith and Wesson, in which all five bullets had been fired as well.

A medical examiner reported that Lanny Horwitz's body had numerous bullet wounds, including one point-blank shot with the gun placed in his mouth.

Lanny Horwitz's Facebook profile says he graduated from the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Law and Jurisprudence. He is an attornety registered in New York, Florida, Michigan and DC.

His Facebook page also says he is a founding international distributor of LifeMax and a licensed real estate broker.
