The couple's youngest child is in elementary school. He was not home when they died. Their older son, Jason, is a Florida Highway Patrol trooper with Troop D in Central Florida. He was at the home Tuesday afternoon, very upset and shocked over what was an unexpected tragedy.
Records show Jose and Aida Duran lived in the house in Falcon Trace on Eyas Road in Hunters Glen just south of Orange Blossom Trail ( see map ) for eight years.

Aida Duran's death marks the 14th domestic violence-related homicide in Orange County this year, double what it was at this time last year.
