An Iowa mom was shot dead and her husband left critically injured when their daughter’s ex-boyfriend allegedly opened fire on them as they tried to move her out of his home, authorities said.

Ruth Sue Ann Robison, 45, and her spouse Tony Ray Robison, 52, both took bullets to the head when the shooting erupted at the home in Des Moines last Friday, the Des Moines Register reported.

They had gone to the house to help their 24-year-old daughter, Jasmyne, pack up her belongings after she recently dumped her boyfriend, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.

The scorned ex, Hamza Smajlovic, 24, is accused of opening fire on the couple with a 9mm pistol.

He then allegedly tried to shoot his former lover, according to authorities.

The Robisons were rushed to a nearby hospital where Ruth was pronounced dead. Her husband remains hospitalized in a critical condition.

Smajlovic was nabbed at the scene and has since been charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder and intimidation with a dangerous weapon.

He is being held in the Polk County Jail on a $750,000 cash bond.
