Kimberly Johnson, 25, of Chester, Pennsylvania, was murdered on March 25, 2014, in Upper Uwchlan. Kimberly died at the scene.

After the killing, Hvizda reportedly walked to the Upper Uwchlan Police Department and confessed, saying he had killed his wife. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and possession of instruments of crime. In early May 2014 he pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty that prosecutors had announced they would seek.

Kimberly had obtained a protection from abuse order against Hvizda before her death. The case drew attention for its violence and the role of domestic abuse and protection orders. Anyone with information about Kimberly or this case is asked to come forward.
