FRESNO, California (ABC7) -- A woman and her boyfriend were charged Monday with the murder of her 18-year-old sister & 3-week-old niece who were shot in their Fresno home out of jealousy & sibling rivalry in September.
Yarelly Solorio-Rivera, 22, & Martin Arroyo-Morales, 26, were each charged with 2 counts of murder & a special circumstance of multiple murders in the Sept. 24 killings of Yanelly Solorio-Rivera & her baby.
Yarelly Solorio-Rivera also was charged with 2 enhancements of "personal & intentional discharge of a firearm causing death."
She & her boyfriend allegedly agreed to kill her sister & she fired a 9mm handgun multiple times as her sister & niece slept, killing them both.
Fresno police arrested the couple last week & they are being held at the Fresno County Jail on a $2 million bond.
Fresno Police Chief Paco Balderrama said after the arrests that when officers arrived they found Yanelly Solorio-Rivera shot to death in her bed with her baby Celine in her arms.
"The murder scene was traumatic for all officers, detectives, EMS personnel & crime scene technicians who responded to the scene," he said.
If convicted of all charges, they face life without the possibility of parole or the death penalty.
