Kenyan Man Arrested in Texas for Fatally Shooting Wife Multiple Times
A 42-year-old Kenyan man was arrested after allegedly shooting his 37-year-old wife multiple times at their home in Killeen, Texas.
John Gitau Mwangi was arrested following the fatal shooting of his 37-year-old wife, Esther Gitau, on Friday, 21 February, police said.
Police responded to a welfare check at the couple’s residence at around 7:15 pm, where they found Esther with multiple gunshot wounds.
Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene at 9:29 pm.
Authorities believe the killing was linked to domestic violence but have assured the public there is no ongoing threat.
Two young children were inside the house at the time but were found unharmed and appeared unaware of what had happened.
Following investigations, detectives from the Robbery-Homicide Unit obtained a warrant for Mwangi’s arrest.
He was located at Fort Cavazos, where he was stationed, and taken into custody.
Mwangi is now being held at the Killeen City Jail, where he faces charges that could result in life imprisonment or the death penalty under Texas law.
Formal charges are expected in the coming days.
