NY mom killed in front of children hours after husband freed on no bail in alleged Facebook video beating
A New York State man allegedly shot and killed his estranged wife in front of her children hours after being arrested for allegedly beating her.
A mother of three in New York state was killed in front of her children less than 24 hours after her estranged husband was released with no bail for allegedly beating her.
Adam Bennefield, 45, who has a prior conviction for kidnapping another woman at gunpoint, is now charged with fatally shooting his 30-year-old wife, Keaira Bennefield, the New York Post reported. She was killed around 8:30 a.m. on Oct. 5 after he rammed her vehicle.
Moments earlier, Keaira had donned a bulletproof vest to take her children, ages 6 months to 9 years, to school in Buffalo. Adam Bennefield allegedly rammed the vehicle and got out and shot her in front of the children.
He had been released from police custody hours earlier following an arrest for beating his wife. She posted a video of the alleged assault on Facebook that showed her being kicked and punched.
Adam Bennefield is now charged with murder, aggravated criminal contempt and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child. He has pleaded not guilty.
