Chris Attoh’s Wife Shot Dead In US

Popular Ghanaian actor Chris Attoh has had his world turned upside down following the death of his wife Bettie Jennifer who has been shot dead in Maryland, US.

The incident took place on May 10th at 5pm when she was leaving her office, the gunman is unknown, and she was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses say that she left her offices and was walking to her car when an unidentified black man walked towards her with a handgun. He fled in a vehicle.

Chris Attoh, who was previously married to Damilola Adegbite, married Jennifer in Accra in October 2018. However Police also say Jenifer was also married to 47-year-old Kedrick Jenifer, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for importing large amounts of cocaine into Baltimore from Texas.

Kendrick Jenifer was a drug ‘kingpin’ in the area, "Kedrick Jenifer lived large as a major Baltimore drug dealer, but now he will lose all of his toys and live for two decades in federal prison," then-U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein said in a news release after his sentencing, according to local sources.

The police have confirmed that the attack was targetted, and is almost certainly linked to Jenifer’s life as a drug dealer.
