Tuesday, February 25, 2025 - Police in Killeen, Texas, have arrested a Kenyan national, John Gitau Mwangi, 42, in connection with the murder of his 37-year-old wife, Esther Gitau, who was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds.
According to a police report, officers responded to a
welfare check on Friday, February 21, 2025, at around 7:16 p.m at a residence
on the 3300 block of Lakecrest Drive.
Upon arrival, they discovered the woman’s body.
She was pronounced dead at 9:29 p.m. by Justice of the Peace
Nicola James.
Two children were found inside the home and have since been
taken to safety.
Investigators believe the shooting stemmed from a domestic
dispute that some friends suspect may have been infidelity.
Detectives from the Robbery-Homicide Unit obtained an arrest
warrant for Mwangi, who was later apprehended at Fort Cavazos, a military post
near Killeen.
He is currently being held at the Killeen City Jail as investigations continue.
