Felon Accused of Fatal Shooting at Dallas Hospital Was Out of Prison Early Despite Violent History
The man accused of fatally shooting two medical workers at Methodist Dallas Medical Center in Texas on Saturday was on parole after being released from prison years early despite his long criminal history.
The arrest warrant affidavit for Nestor Oswaldo Hernandez, 30, states that during his girlfriend’s labor, he became erratic and accused her of cheating on him. He then hit her with a handgun before opening fire on the first two medical workers who walked into the room.
A Methodist Health System (MHS) police officer who responded to the scene shot and wounded Hernandez. It was then that Hernandez was transported to another hospital for treatment. The Dallas Police Department and MHSPD later announced they arrested Hernandez for capital murder.
At the time of the shooting, Hernandez was out on parole for a 2015 aggravated robbery in which he taped a woman’s hands and eyes, leaving her with a broken nose and fractured eye, before stealing her cell phone, vehicle, and at least $3,000 in cash. Hernandez pleaded guilty to the incident in 2015 and was sentenced to eight years in prison but was allowed back into society with parole parameters in October 2021.
A prison spokesman told The Dallas Morning News that Hernandez, equipped with an ankle monitor, was allowed in the hospital on Saturday “to be with his significant other during delivery.” (Read more from “Felon Accused of Fatal Shooting at Dallas Hospital Was Out of Prison Early Despite Violent History” HERE)
