Funeral services were held on Monday for the daycare director who was shot and killed last week outside her place of work.

A public viewing for 26-year-old Nubia Bravo was held at Salinas Funeral Home in Weslaco.

Bravo was identified as the director of Neni's Childcare #2 daycare. She was shot and killed on Oct. 15 outside the daycare by her estranged husband, Saul Esquivel, who then turned the gun on himself and died, authorities said. 

Hidalgo County Sheriff Eddie Guerra referred to the incident as an act of domestic violence.

According to Guerra, Bravo led Esquivel away from the children before he shot and killed her. There were five children at the daycare, and none of them were injured, Guerra said.  

The McAllen-based nonprofit organization Angels of Love RGV said they're hoping to honor Bravo's memory with a special event.
