A man charged with killing 22 women in the Dallas area over a two-year span was found guilty Friday in one of their deaths — his second murder conviction.
Prosecutors told jurors the evidence showed Chemirmir followed Brooks home from Walmart, smothered her and took her jewelry.
Most lived in apartments at independent living communities for older people. One woman who lived in a private home was the widow of a man Chemirmir cared for while working as an at-home caregiver.“They are begging that you plug in the holes that they cannot,” defense attorney Phillip Hayes said in his closing argument.
Police testified they found Chemirmir the next day in the parking lot of his apartment complex holding jewelry and cash, having just thrown away a large red jewelry box. Documents in the jewelry box led them to the home of Harris, who was found dead in her bedroom, lipstick smeared on her pillow.
