Robert Lee Woman Admits Shooting Her Husband Multiple Times in Brutal Murder

ROBERT LEE, TX — A 27-year-old Robert Lee woman has been indicted for murder in the shooting death of her husband.   Jasmine Nichole Moreno was arrested in the 800 block of Euel St. in Robert Lee and was charged with murder after she allegedly shot and killed her husband Cisco Ray Moreno, 30.

Texas Ranger Nick Hanna is investigating this case and interviewed witnesses that were at the residence that Sunday morning after law enforcement was called to the scene.

The court documents state, “Coke County Deputy Terry Crenshaw responded to the residence and discovered the body of Cisco Ray Moreno in the kitchen of the residence. In his initial investigation at the scene, Deputy Crenshaw contacted Jasmine Moreno, the defendant, who had advised him that she had used a handgun and shot her husband.”

Two individuals were in the residence when the shooting occurred but neither were in the kitchen where the murder took place. The witnesses stated that they saw Jasmine Moreno “in the kitchen pointing a firearm at the body of Cisco Moreno immediately following the sound of gunshots from the kitchen.”

Jasmine later that day signed a “written confession detailing the manner in which she shot Cisco Moreno more than once in the kitchen of the residence utilizing a single action revolver.” The document stated Jasmine “recalled having to cock the hammer of the pistol back for each successive shot.”

An autopsy was conducted at the Southwest Forensic Institute in Lubbock. The cause of death was identified as multiple gunshot wounds, and the manner of death appeared to be homicide.

Jasmine Moreno is now out on a $50,000 bond. Moreno was charged with first degree felony murder which is punishable by five to 99 years or life in prison and a $10,000.  The prosecutor will be 51st District Attorney Allison Palmer.
