Yaun had just come home from work, and the two were happy to relax with a massage. While receiving treatments in separate rooms, González heard the gunfire ring.
When law enforcement arrived on the scene, González told Mundo Hispánico he was put in the back of a patrol vehicle and detained by authorities. He tried to obtain information about what happened to his wife, but said his questions were initially answered.
González told Mundo Hispánico he was detained for about four hours until the investigation led authorities to Long as the suspect.
“When they found out I was the man, they told me she was dead,” he said. “I wanted to know before.”
González said he was frustrated with how he was being treated, and suggested it was “maybe because I’m Mexican”.
In the video interview with Mundo Hispánico, he pointed to marks on his arm that appear to be from the shackles he was in the previous day.
CNN tried to reach González, but was unsuccessful so far.
The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office did not respond to a request for comment.
A family torn apart
The couple recently got married and, according to Yaun’s sister, Dana Toole, had an eight-month-old daughter.
Toole said her sister always put her family first and described Delaina as a ‘wonderful, happy, upbeat personality’.
“Her family came first. Everything was her family,” Toole said.
Tool said the couple went to the spa to spend some time together.
“They were just going to have some time alone, husband and wife,” she said. “Unfortunately it went bad. It went bad very quickly.”
Yaun also leaves behind a 13-year-old boy.
“They took the most valuable thing in my life from me,” González told the publication, adding: “This killer who killed my wife just left me in pain.”
A department that has questions
“He was quite throaty and was a bit at the end of his rope,” said Capt. Jay Baker said at a news conference last week. “Yesterday was a very bad day for him, and that’s what he did.”
