Keaira Hudson, a mother-of-three has been killed by her husband, one week after she posted a lengthy video of him abusing her in Buffalo, New York.
The 30-year-old woman married Adam Bennefield, 45, in February, 2022.
She took to Facebook to share her wedding photos.
Keaira Hudson called Adam her “lifetime friend partner” and said he loves her “with every breath he has”.
She also describe their wedding day as the happiest day of her life. Unfortunately, the union quickly became abusive.
On 28 September, Adam threatened Keaira at their home with a knife, beat her brutally, took her phone and refused to let her leave the house.
As she bled on the floor after the beating, he took pictures of her in her battered state.
Keaira shared the video on September 29 with the caption: “This is what this man does to me but I’m always treated like I’m the abuser.”
After that incident, she ran away from home with her kids but Adam refused to let her be and threatened to kill her.
Adam was arrested and a restraining order was placed on him. He was released from jail on Tuesday, 4 October.
Keaira, who was hiding in her mother’s house, wore a bullet-proof vest all the time as she feared Adam would kill her.
“Mom he’s going to kill me, you don’t understand,” Keaira reportedly told her mother when she asked why she’s always wearing a bullet-proof vest.
Adam was arraigned in Cheektowaga Town Court on Tuesday, 4 October, for one count of third-degree assault, two counts of fourth-degree criminal mischief, one count of second-degree menacing, one count of second-degree unlawful imprisonment, and one count of second-degree harassment.
However, the DA’s office claimed he was released on his own recognizance since the charges did qualify to set bail.
While Adam was released, prosecutors requested a temporary order of protection to force him to stay away from Keaira.
Sadly, on Wednesday morning, 5 October, Keaira was on her way to drop her kids off at daycare when Adam slammed his car into her car as she approached the daycare.
He then jumped out of his vehicle and shot Keaira multiple times in her head while her kids watched. She died at the scene.
Police has now released a wanted person poster, asking for help to find Adam.
