Police recently arrested a Virginia man for allegedly shooting and killing his wife at his parents’ home in Florida.
On Wednesday, April 17, at around 10:25 p.m., officers from the St. Petersburg Police Department responded to a complaint of a shooting at a home on 29th Ave. North. Devin Hansen, 28, and his wife, Yasmin Grijalva, 35, were visiting from out of state when they got into a fight, during which Hansen allegedly shot Grijalva.
According to WTVT-TV, Hansen and his wife were visiting his parents’ house when the incident occurred. The couple had apparently been married since 2022, but Hansen lived in Virginia while his wife stayed in Michigan with their one-year-old son. According to WTVT, Grijalva traveled to Florida for a work-related function, and her husband accompanied her.
Emergency workers arrived at the house, but Hansen had already departed in a black Cadillac CTS.
An officer accompanied Grijalva on the ambulance ride to Orlando Health Bayfront. While traveling, the officer saw a black Cadillac pursuing the ambulance on the freeway.
Nearby police officers attempted to stop the vehicle, sparking a pursuit. The Cadillac eventually smashed into large landscaping rocks on the 1400 block of 54th Avenue South.
The hospital later declared Grijalva dead.
Police arrested Hansen on accusations of first-degree murder, running and eluding, and domestic assault. He remains in the Pinellas County Jail.
