Investigators say a Houston police sergeant has been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of his librarian wife.

Pearland police said in a statement that the body of 52-year-old Belinda Hernandez was located Saturday by a relative at their home in the 1900 block of Canyon Creek Court in the Houston suburb.

The Houston Chronicle reports that Belinda's family member had tried and failed to get in contact with her before visiting the home around noon and finding her dead body in the kitchen.

Belinda's husband, 56-year-old Houston Police Sgt. Hilario Hernandez, was arrested later that day some 230 miles away in Kingsville, Texas.

Police say the victim was a librarian at Shadycrest Elementary School, the culmination of a goal she'd set for herself years ago after previously attending college without finishing her degree, which she ultimately attained in 2011, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Belinda and her husband raised two children together during their marriage of more than 30 years.

Kleberg County sheriff's officials didn't immediately return messages Sunday. Houston police also didn't immediately return a message for comment.

Police sergeant shot wife over flirting: Court documents

When I see her photo, and then her husband's photo, it is not a couple that I would intuitively put together. He was jealous and insecure ... and dangerous.

According to court documents, the couple's daughter said she and her husband had been at the house drinking with her parents and a close family friend the night Belinda was found dead. She said her dad believed that her mom was flirting with that friend.

The daughter told investigators she noticed something was wrong when she sent her mom a text message to tell her she made it home safely, but her mom didn't respond. She called again, but this time, her dad answered and told her that she was fine and hung up.

That worried her, so she and her husband went back to the house, and that's when they found Belinda's body face down in the kitchen with multiple gunshot wounds.
