Their bodies , along with their injured five-year-old daughter Maya, who is now receiving hospital treatment, were found in a Toyota Corolla that had apparently broken down on the way from Puerto Cabello to Valencia. After giving up her beauty crown, Spear became a successful TV presenter and telenovela, or soap, actor.
Local reports said Berry, 39, was shot in the chest while his former partner suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Their bodies were taken to a morgue in Valencia, which is about 110 miles west of Caracas.
The couple's daughter is in a stable condition after treatment for a bullet wound to her leg. Her grandparents were said to be with her in hospital.
