Aide Fink, a 50-year-old woman from Flower Mound, Texas, was tragically shot and killed in her home on September 25, 2014. The incident occurred just before midnight when her estranged husband, Daniel Fink, allegedly shot her multiple times while their three children, aged 7, 11, and 16, were present in the house. The oldest child called 911 after hearing the shots and his mother's screams.
Daniel Fink, a 41-year-old Customs and Border Patrol officer, was arrested at the scene and later
charged with murder. According to police reports, Fink had been having thoughts of harming Aide prior to the incident and had even filed a restraining order against her just hours before the shooting. He admitted to approaching the house on foot, wearing blue latex gloves, and discarding them at a hotel in Irving after the shooting.
The case garnered significant media attention and community support, with residents gathering to remember Aide Fink and set up a fund for her children. In June 2015, Daniel Fink entered a guilty plea and was sentenced to 50 years in prison for the murder. The court proceedings revealed that Fink accepted responsibility for his actions, wanting to spare his children from the trauma of a trial.
The tragic death of Aide Fink and the subsequent legal actions against Daniel Fink highlighted the devastating impact of domestic violence and the importance of community support for victims and their families.
