Bayonne murder-suicide note reveals killer's despair over collapsed marriage
22.05.12
The rage in Adepso Collado’s suicide note was cold and brutal.
He was about to walk into the Bayonne home where he had once lived with his wife and two daughters and begin shooting. Then he would shoot himself.
In the hand-written note, the 28-year-old said he was despondent over a six-month separation from his wife, Kenia and didn’t want to live anymore.
And, authorities say, he had no reservations about killing others inside.
Opening fire as he stalked the first floor of the ranch-style home on Avenue A Monday evening, Collado shot his wife, her boyfriend and the boyfriend’s 14-month old son, firing 20 rounds, almost all of them hitting their mark. Each victim was hit multiple times in the head, torso and limbs.
Then he went to the basement and confronted his daughters, ages 6 and 8. Had police not arrived, authorities say, the girls likely would have met the same fate.
"I think you could infer that (his daughters) were at risk … it isn’t stated but I think that they were at risk … it might have been that he was in fact distracted by the arrival of the police," Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said.
