A mother and son are behind bars after Big Spring police found a dead man with a gunshot to the head. 

Big Spring police found the body of Jaime Barboza, 47, in his bedroom on Feb. 23. We're told after collecting evidence and following leads, Barboza's girlfriend and her son were identified as the suspects. 

Brenda Valdivia, 37, and Raul Romo, 20, have been arrested and booked into the Howard County Detention Center.
