A man identified as Michael Chidozie has died less than a month after police say his wife shot him multiple times at their apartment in the Galleria area following an argument om March 21.
The 26-year-old’s wife Keaiirra Shavoiyae Chidozie is now facing an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge according to the Harris County Clerk’s website.
Keaiirra Shavoiyae Chidozie is now out on bond and awaiting her next court date on May 23. She and her husband, Michael, shared two children. According to investigators, they were home when Keaiirra shot him.
Houston police got called to the scene and found Michael Chidozie shot, but he was still alive while the wife and two kids were nearby in the parking lot.
Investigators say Keaiira admitted to shooting her husband because she feared for her safety during an argument, she allegedly walked to the bedroom in their apartment, Michael followed her, and that is when she shot him.
Court documents show he was shot twice in the torse, once in the arm, and once in the chest.
At just 26 years old, Michael, a Nigerian body builder, died from complications at Ben Taub Hospital on April 8, 18 days after he was shot.
It eats at Abah, who wanted the chance to speak with Michael about that night.
He said the father of two was just scratching the surface of his natural body-building career and making a name for himself.
Michael’s family and friends have set up a GoFundMe account to raise $70,000 to fly his body to Nigeria for burial.
