Gainesville – Gainesville police on Tuesday had no answer to what prompted a woman to fatally shoot her former boyfriend in the head in her apartment on Monday. Katherine Jean Tonner, 24, remained in the Alachua County jail on a murder charge for the death of Jose Ricardo Ortiz III, 26. Ortiz’s body was found by one of Tonner’s roommates. A police report said Ortiz had been living in the apartment despite the split. The roommate told police he was in his third-floor room when he heard “three loud bangs” below him on the second floor. About five minutes later, he heard a fire alarm and went to investigate, the arrest report said. The roommate called 911 and told officers he heard no arguing — despite “paper-thin walls” — before the shooting, police said.
