Breyanai Moore is accused of killing her estranged husband Lonnie Moore, who was found ᴅᴇᴀᴅ in a car on the side of the road in Texas.
Though police initially believed that a man took his life, his wife was arrested in connection with his death.
On March 4, Breyanai Moore was charged with murder and booked into Texas’ Montgomery County Jail, according to a press release from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, where she is held without bond.
Back in June, her estranged husband Lonnie Moore, 33, was found sH๏τ to death inside his car which was parked on the side of the road in New Caney with the engine still running, per the press release. An affidavit for warrant of arrest obtained by Oxygen stated that a 9 mm gun rested in the front pᴀssenger seat.
“While the scene initially appeared to suggest a suicide,” read the press release, “Detectives with the MCSO Major Crimes Unit and Crime Scene Investigators conducted a thorough scene analysis. As the investigation progressed, evidence was uncovered that contradicted the initial ᴀssessment of a self-inflicted wound.”

Breyanai told police that she had been home with her and Lonnie’s daughter since the night before Lonnie died, according to the affidavit, however police interviews and physical evidence pointed to the contrary.
License plate recognition cameras cited in the affidavit pH๏τographed a woman who resembled Breyanai near the entrance of Lonnie’s neighborhood in the early morning hours of his death day. When interviewed by police, Breyanai’s mother “confirmed with 100 percent certainty” that the woman in the pH๏τo was her daughter, according to the affidavit.
Breyanai hated Lonnie, claimed her mother in the affidavit, and often wished harm upon him. After Lonnie’s death, her mom said, Breyanai cried often and lost so much weight that she looked like a “crackhead,” which she believed was attributed to her daughter’s guilt.
What’s more, one of Breyanai’s friends told police that Breyanai said she “was planning to get rid of Lonnie on her own since the law would not help her,” per the affidavit, and that Breyanai had indirectly indicated that she sH๏τ Lonnie, without words, when she said “I,” then made a gun sign with her finger on her own temple.
Breyanai told police that she had recently told Lonnie in a text message that she was filing for divorce, “because she was tired of his threats, guilt trips and blaming her for things.”
Breyanai has not yet been ᴀssigned an attorney and it is unclear whether Breyanai has entered a plea. Her next court date is March 12.
