An Iowa man was taken into custody and accused of killing his ex-girlfriend’s mother on Friday while she was helping her daughter move out of his home. Hamza Smajlovic, 24, was charged with murder, intimidation with a dangerous weapon and attempted murder in the fatal shooting of Ruth Sue Ann Robison, 45, according to criminal complaints obtained by HuffPost. The shooting also critically injured Robison’s 52-year-old husband, Tony Robison.
Smajlovic allegedly shot Robison and her husband in the head with a 9 mm pistol, according to the complaints. Authorities also said Smajlovic fired at another person inside the residence, whose name has not been made public. Other news outlets have retreated behind paywalls.
