According to authorities, an estranged spouse who had been detained the day before on suspicion of domestic abuse allegedly shot and killed a woman in New York. On Wednesday, October 5, when Keaira Hudson Bennefield, 40, sat in her car outside her mother's house, she was fatally shot. She was also a mother of three children. Two of her kids, who were in the backseat of the car, saw the shooting. In relation to the shooting, police have issued an arrest warrant for Keaira's ex-husband, Adam Bennefield. Adam was apparently detained for assaulting Keaira, however, he was soon freed from custody the same day. According to People, on September 28, Cheektowaga Police Department officers responded to a report about domestic violence at a residence. When police arrived, Bennefield had already left the area. The authorities told Keaira to get in touch with them if he came back. The following day, Keaira uploaded a video of the assault to her Facebook page. After seeing the video on October 2, police officers detained Bennefield and filed charges against him for one third-degree assault, two fourth-degree criminal mischiefs, one second-degree menacing, one second-degree illegal imprisonment, and one second-degree harassing. However, only a few hours after being detained, he was freed on his own recognizance. According to the court documents, Bennefield is unrepresented by an attorney and has not yet pleaded guilty to the allegations. Adam is said to have shot his wife in the head and has since fled. Adam is reportedly believed to be armed and dangerous, and police are still looking for him. It is strongly advised that anyone with knowledge concerning his location contact Crime Stoppers WNY at 716-867-6161. There is a $7,500 prize on the table for information that results in his capture. After posting bond, a Michigan man accused of brutally abusing his fiancée allegedly killed her and his stepfather stabbed his mother in the mother with a butcher knife, and threw his infant out of a window. According to police, the spree of violence started on June 2 when Jonathan Welch, 23, allegedly attacked Zlayiah Frazier, 22, with whom he shared a home. Welch allegedly burned the woman with a scorching spatula, strangled her with an extension wire, poured her in gasoline, and sexually abused her with a pole.
