FRESNO, Calif. ( KSEE/KGPE ) – It’s been just over a week since Jasmine Roman lost her husband 30-year-old Roberto Roman. The pair had been married for nearly 8 years, tying the knot four months after they met when Roberto was stationed for a Marine Corps assignment in Yuma, Arizona.
“Even to this day, I sometimes think he’ll come back. I know it’s not realistic, but your mind plays tricks on you. Sometimes I think I’ll wake up and he’ll be in bed with me,” she said.

Now, Jasmine is navigating life without her husband and with their two-year-old son.
“I think the anger is, he’ll never see our son grow up. I have to make sure our son remembers him,” she added.
She said it started on Saturday, April 27 , when Roberto was invited over to a friend’s house on East Pryor Drive in North Fresno. Jasmine said she was friends with his wife, but she stayed home, as they were planning on having a quiet night in.
However, everything changed when she was told about the shooting.
