South Miami Police are investigating after a man showed up at a police station and said he shot and killed his wife Thursday.
Police said they discovered Jennifer Alonzo, 26, inside a townhouse in the 5500 block of Southwest 67th Avenue after Derek Medina, 31, showed up at the station and said he killed his wife during an argument.
A 10-year-old child was also found unharmed at the scene. Miami-Dade Police said the child was the victim's daughter.
Medina posted a photo of his wife after the shooting on his Facebook page. The graphic photo, captioned "RIP Jennifer Alonso," shows a woman bent over backwards with her knees bent, her face and arm covered in blood.
He also posted an alleged confession shortly after posting the photo that read:

Neighbors said Medina was a self-proclaimed neighborhood watchman.
South Miami Police said the case was being handed over to Miami-Dade Police.
No other information was immediately known.
