A pastor shot to death last week at his church in Lake Charles, Louisiana, was accused of rape just days before by the wife of the man who was charged with his killing, authorities said on Monday.
Ronald Harris Sr. was shot as he preached to about 50 to 60 people at a service on Friday evening at the Tabernacle of Praise Worship Center, according to the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office.
Woodrow Karey, 53, of Lake Charles is being held on a second degree murder charge in connection with the pastor's death.
On September 25, Karey's wife filed a rape complaint against Harris, according to a statement released on Monday by the sheriff's office.
Investigators are looking into the "possibility of a relationship" between Harris and the wife of Karey and whether that may have prompted the shooting, according to the sheriff's office.
The toothless grin NRA Greg says it's ok to take the law into one's own hands. I'm sure he agrees that if the man raped her, then it was ok to shoot him. Just as hillbilly Greg said it was ok to go after a drug dealer with his gun, instead of calling the police.

ReplyDelete"Karey told authorities that a week earlier he'd found text messages from his wife to the pastor. He believed, Mancuso said, that they were having sex and he confronted his wife. Days after the confrontation, Karey's wife filed the police report accusing the pastor of rape, Mancuso said."
