Patricia, later on, decided enough was enough and she left him and began a family with her new husband, whose name is unknown.

Andrew, one of Patricia’s sons, tried to talk Abel out of it but he threatened to shoot him too. Andrew then withdrew and that was when Abel fired the gun hitting Patricia at the bottom.
He tried to shoot her again several times but the gun constantly backfired. Patricia then took charge of him, stumbling him over and she ran for the car.
