Vivian Savella custody shooting

The court order handed primary custody to Aaron on September 29, yet Vivian Savella never made it back to him that evening. Instead, the mother drove her four-year-old daughter to a townhouse in west Houston where the stepfather and nanny downstairs heard shots from upstairs. Police confirmed the mother shot her daughter before turning the gun on herself. She died in a hospital on October 1. The tragedy unfolded just hours after the judge transferred custody of the girl to her father in Houston. A Daily Mail report details how the child was scheduled to return but did not arrive. Aaron stated he followed every legal requirement to protect his child and trusted the court process. He waited for the system to work while she never came home.
