Jan Michael Agnew, 59, was killed in Indianola, Oklahoma on January 19, 2023. Deputies say his wife, 54-year-old Cynthia Agnew, called emergency services and later confessed to shooting him. Deputies found Jan unresponsive in the kitchen with two gunshot wounds; both he and Cynthia were described as heavily intoxicated and a 9mm handgun was recovered at the scene.

Cynthia was taken into custody and initially charged with first-degree murder. Family members remembered Jan as a devoted family man, a retired Superintendent of Facility and Maintenance for the Garland Independent School District and an Assistant Fire Chief and first responder in McAlester, Oklahoma who loved hunting and fishing. Reports say Cynthia told investigators she shot Jan while trying to flee a domestic violence incident.
