Angela Gagne, a 41-year-old woman from Fort Worth, TX, tragically lost her life on June 14, 2017. She was found brutally beaten, naked, and shot in her duplex. The investigation revealed that Angela had called the police on June 4, 2017, to report that her boyfriend, Q’Juan Tiakei Holmes, was beating her. Six days later, during an argument at her home, Holmes dragged Angela into a spare bedroom while his brother, Xondadric Antonio Holmes, was present and stole items from the duplex.
Two days after the murder, police conducted a welfare check and discovered Angela’s body in a pool of blood, naked and shot in the head four times. Q’Juan Holmes fled to Florida but was later tracked down, arrested, and extradited back to Texas. During the trial, prosecutors presented graphic evidence and testimonies, leading to Holmes being found guilty of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Xondadric Holmes, who was also present during the incident, was arrested and charged with capital murder for his involvement in Angela’s death. He is awaiting trial. The case highlighted the brutality and premeditated nature of the crime, leaving the community in shock and mourning for Angela Gagne, a mother of five.
