Police were called Routenberg’s home after the Fuillerat’s divorce lawyer told police that the ex-couple did not show up for a scheduled hearing on Friday morning.
Routenberg, an assistant principal at Lake Gibson Middle and, Fuillerat, a math teacher at the same school, were found shot to death in the home by police.
Police said a domestic violence injunction had been previously obtained against Vincenti, but it was not made permanent and was not current.
On Friday morning, police say that both women both had guns, which they bought because they were scared of Vicente. They shot back at Vicente when he shot at them with a shotgun, but they were unable to stop him, according to reports.
After Vicente reportedly killed the women, police said he turned the gun on himself.
Detectives said Vicente planned the killings.
“He was wearing a bulletproof vest, he had multiple rounds in the vest as well as a stun gun and we did find a note on him,” said Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office Colonel Donna Luscynski. “This was a pre-planned event. He came here with the intent to murder both of these victims.”
