    “I shot my wife,” Rivera said of his 57-year-old partner, Jodie, according to the report.

    Rivera also allegedly admitted to investigators that he gunned down his 21-year-old son, Matthew, WESH reported. The father of three had been depressed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, his sister told the station.
