Maradee Wright, 77, died of a gunshot wound at her home on North Del Rey Avenue in Clovis, California, on March 14, 2019. Responding officers were initially called about a possible suicide, but investigators soon treated the death as a homicide.

Investigators identified Maradee’s husband, 82-year-old Kenneth Wright, as responsible for her death. He was arrested, charged with murder, booked into the Fresno County Jail, and held on $1 million bail. Kenneth Wright remained in custody while legal proceedings were pending.

Kenneth Wright later died in hospice care on July 6, 2020, while still in custody, before the case reached trial. Many questions about what happened in the home remain; anyone with information about the Wrights or the events at the North Del Rey Avenue residence is asked to come forward.
