A Woman Has Been Charged With Killing Another Woman Over a Political Sign
MOUNT VERNON, Wash. (AP) — A woman accused of shooting to death another woman allegedly involved in the theft of a political sign has been charged in Skagit County Superior Court.
Angela Conijn of Big Lake is charged with second-degree murder in the Feb. 13 death of Kamran Cohee, 32, the Skagit Valley Herald reported.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Conijn, 55, is accused of shooting Cohee after a fight between Conijn’s husband and a man with Cohee.
Angela Conijn’s husband told deputies he came out of his house when he saw someone pull into his driveway, believing the people meant to steal a political sign, documents say. A fight between the men ensued and Conijn’s husband was chased back into his home, he told deputies.
Outside, the other man and Cohee allegedly began beating on the Conijns’ front door with a wheelbarrow, according to documents. Angela Conijn then allegedly exited the house and fired a gun toward the parked vehicle, striking Cohee, documents say.
