Obinna Igbokwe, a Nigerian based in Texas, US, shot his wife and grandmother-in-law, and left with his tree-month-old baby, and finally killed himself while police were looking for him.
It happened on Wednesday.
According to the NBC, the wife is critically injured and hospitalised, her grandmother died from the injury.
Igbokwe however dropped the child in a car seat at a local hotel, and took a passenger bus.
A statement from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday read, “On June 2, 2022, at about 12:00 am Detectives with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office were contacted by the Corsicana Police Department and advised they had Mansa Igbokwe in their care.
“According to the Corsicana Police Department, a male dropped off the child in a car seat at a local hotel and said he would be right back, but never returned.
“Since the male did not return the Corsicana Police Department was contacted and learned the male left in a white passenger car, which they believed to be Igbokwe.
“Additional alerts were sent out to local Ellis and Navarro County law enforcement agencies alerting them that Igbokwe was in the area.”
