A California jury convicted Aaron Romo, 36, of killing his ex-girlfriend Mirelle Mateus, 24, after prosecutors say he lured her to his apartment despite a restraining order. Mateus’s mother found her daughter’s body in the bathtub. She had been badly beaten and strangled. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber spoke with the victim’s sister, Sandy Caceros, who says local law enforcement failed Mirelle and her family.

It's not as direct and explicit as it is in other places but in America there's an overall atmosphere in which men have a sense of entitlement and ownership over the women that date or marry them.
There's three sides of the story
May this family heal from what this monster put them thru my heart goes out to the family ! Such a beautiful soul
24 dating 38 year old? she had it coming
She was my daughters friend. May she RIP
Kinda like the sloped roof excuse.
What’s with all these beautiful women dating ugly guys? Am I missing something?
Malignant narcissist
This one hurts bc there’s so many women out there that go through domestic violence .. & can’t break the bond
Okay so clearly he killed here. Noted. But she made it way too easy for him; she walked right into that.
There, I said it. Now let’s let that sink in. Because this was totally preventable.
Ladies, pay attention to your instincts and listen to them. Heed their warnings. Also, run for the hills when you see crazy eyes that keep that far away look, like this dude’s misaligned and far away glance
The police could have saved her
Usual suspects for domestic violence
So heartbreaking – RIH Mirelle 🙏
Hate to say this, but she would be alive if she hadn't picked him up
a public register for persons convicted of domestic violence is an excellent idea! Hope it is passed.
I would be in prison for life if any man ever touch my Children.
They some 304s
All these young lady's being murdered wtf 😢❤?
The sister look like a man.
How could the system have failed them when she willingly went to get him WHILE there was an active RO. Exercise common sense and discernment.
Beautiful girl
So sad
Why go pick him up knowing he’s drunk?
Quit brightening up the room
Should they have just walked off after a call like that? Absolutely not & they should probably find a new profession. But seeing how police already done their job and had a restraining order in place- they had no reason to assume it was her inside there. I feel that placing blame elsewhere (on her, on police) takes away from holding the real person accountable & at fault- sick murderer. Rip pretty girl
But…. You picked him up. Why???
This just happened in SC to a young lady! Look up Mica’s Law!
So she caused her own death.
Smh. When will these desperate women learn to leave these men alone.
The scary thing is… he could’ve actually done that, BECAUSE, he loved her too much
You know
