Valentino Paez and Jennifer Paez Death – A mother and her infant child, who was nine months old, were found dead on Monday in their home in North Andover, Massachusetts, in what appears to be a murder-suicide. This information was reported by the Essex County District Attorney’s Office.
When the police arrived at the residence located in the 200 block of Turnpike Street at 5:30 p.m., they discovered that Jennifer T. Paez, who was 35 years old, had passed away, and that Valentino Paez, who was her son, had been stabbed. The medical staff at Lawrence General Hospital determined that Valentino had passed away after he was brought there.
The preliminary evidence suggests that Jennifer Paez injured her child before taking her own life, according to investigators from the Massachusetts State Police who are working with North Andover Police and the Office of Essex County District Attorney Paul Tucker. This is even though the investigation is still ongoing.
The district attorney for Essex County, Paul Tucker, expressed his concern by saying, “Our deepest sympathies go out to the family of Jennifer Paez and her son, Valentino, while everyone is, understandably, still struggling to comprehend what went so horribly wrong here.” Additionally, I would like to express my appreciation to the Massachusetts State Police, the North Andover Police Department, and other first responders for the assistance they provided to this family and the community in the aftermath of this heinous murder.
During the time that the police were dealing with the situation, they sent out three fire trucks to protect the front of the house.
