“For the record: it’s way easier and much more satisfying than you can imagine. See you around,” he allegedly texted his sister in reference to the killing, according to the statement.

“I keep thinking about how she never screamed. Just took it like a champ,” Wonder allegedly wrote in a Facebook message to his friend. “What a gal. To honor her. I will not go out by a gunshot (suicide by cop) but by, hopefully a similar fate as Ashli.”

He also allegedly wrote in an earlier message that he was “depleted” and that he set her gemstones by her body.

“Her thirdeye shakra, her moonstone, blah blah blah – a lot of good they did you, hun,” he allegedly wrote, according to the statement.
