A kiss has a broad meaning depending on cultural connotations. It is commonly used as a greeting in some countries, while some countries consider kissing a sacred act meant to be shared with someone special, someone that a person can spend their life with. A kiss is a sign of love, desire, or reverence, but unfortunately, it’s not the case here.

A Deadly Kiss Refusal
The Illinois woman, age 28, was later identified as Claudia Resendiz-Florez, a mother of three, shot a man when he refused to kiss her. Resendiz-Florez had just moved in with James P. Jones and his girlfriend in an apartment complex in the northwest suburb at the Preserve Woodfield at 4700 Arbor Drive.
According to Courtney Smallwood, an assistant public defender, Claudia Resendiz-Florez was married but separated from his husband, and she is the sole caretaker of her three young children.

Shot On The Chest
For the second time, she demanded Jones for a kiss that he again refused, resulting in Resendiz-Florez feeling infuriated and reaching out for a gun tucked between cushions that belonged to Jones.
According to Fox News, the prosecutors had said that Jones tried to lower the gun when he noticed that she had already pulled off the safety. However, she raised her arms and ended up shooting him once in the chest, ultimately killing him.
