Keaira, a mother of three, took to her Facebook page a few days ago to share a video of her husband beating her mercilessly in Buffalo, New York.
Keaira got married to 45-year-old Adam Bennefield in February this year, and had described their wedding day as the happiest day of her life in a Facebook post earlier.
According to her, her husband gave her her dream wedding. Unfortunately, only months into their marriage, he became abusive, and Keaira took to Facebook on September 29 to post a video showing him assaulting her.
A friend of the deceased woman revealed that Adam had a bad temper long before they got married, but he always apologized whenever he hit her and promised to change.
“Keaira’s family did not want her to marry him. They were so scared for her and tried to reach out to Keaira, but she felt like she was fine,” the friend wrote on Facebook.
On September 28, Adam threatened Keaira at their home with a knife, beat her brutally, took her phone and refused to let her leave the house. As the mother three bled on the floor after the beating, Adam 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.”
Keaira and her children fled the house after that incident. However, Adam wouldn’t leave her alone and vowed to murder her. He was later arrested and a restraining order was issued against him.
He was released from jail on Tuesday, Oct. 4th, and Keaira, who was hiding in her mother’s house, wore a bulletproof vest all the time as she feared her husband 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 bulletproof vest.
While Adam was released, prosecutors requested a temporary order of protection to force him to stay away from Keaira.
Sadly, on Wednesday morning, October 5, Keaira was driving to the daycare to drop her children off when Adam crashed into her vehicle.
He then jumped out of his vehicle and shot Keaira multiple times in her head while her kids watched. Keaira died on the spot.
Police has now released a wanted person poster, asking for help to find the husband who’s currently at large.
