Janet McAfee, 50, of Houston, was found shot to death inside her Southampton Place home on May 8, 2010. She had been married about a dozen years to Ken McAfee, 59, and the couple were reportedly separated and in the process of divorcing; a restraining order had been in effect. Janet worked in the oil and gas sector, founded a consulting firm called Foreign Operations, served as an audit/fraud manager in the South African oil industry, and led the Houston chapter of the Traveler’s Century Club.

On the night of May 8 police responded to a panic alarm at the McAfees’ residence. Officers spoke with Janet, who said she was not okay. Ken then slammed the door and barricaded himself inside. After more than three hours, a SWAT team’s standoff ended when Ken shot himself in the jaw; he was taken to a hospital and survived. Janet was found dead inside the home with multiple gunshot wounds; it is unclear from reports exactly when she was shot. Ken McAfee was charged in the case and held on $50,000 bail.

Janet’s death raised concerns among neighbors about domestic violence; she had reportedly passed out fliers asking neighbors to call police if they saw her husband. If anyone knew Janet or has information about what happened that night, please share what you can.
