(Des Moines, IA) — The man accused of killing a mother and her two children took the stand Thursday to say it was a case of self-defense. Closing arguments are scheduled for today (Friday) in the triple-murder case against Marvin Esquivel Lopez. He took the stand Thursday to say he had just returned from a hard day of work in July 2019 when he found a gun pointed at his face. He told the court 29-year-old Rosie Flores-Rodriguez was holding the gun and was angry, saying she was going to kill him. Esquivel-Lopez says he took the gun away from her and shot her. His wife had already told the court a different story.
