Man sentenced to life for fatally shooting 2 Dallas hospital workers after his girlfriend gave birth

DALLAS (AP) — A man has been sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of fatally shooting two workers at a Dallas hospital last year as he argued with his girlfriend, who had just given birth to their child. Thirty-one-year-old Nestor Hernandez was found guilty of capital murder Thursday in the October 2022 shooting deaths of 45-year-old Jacqueline Pokuaa and 63-year-old Katie Annette Flowers at Methodist Dallas Medical Center. Pokuaa was a social worker, and Flowers was a nurse. During the trial, Hernandez acknowledged shooting the two women but said it was an accident. He received an automatic sentenced of life without the possibility of parole.
