BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — New documents obtained by 23ABC reveal disturbing details in the arrest of Manuel Robles, the man accused of shooting and killing his wife November 26 at a home on Tallulah Falls Court.
According to the probable cause report, Robles and his wife were drinking alcohol before they began arguing.
Robles then allegedly stood over his wife, aiming his handgun at her.
At that time, the documents say their 15-year-old son tried to intervene, and Robles began shooting at his gun safe until the magazine was empty.
The report goes on to say that Robles retrieved an AR-15 style rifle before shooting his wife several times, killing her.
Robles pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, willful cruelty to a child, and another felony in court on Tuesday.
He is expected to return for preliminary hearings on December 12 and 15.
