Josephine Amon, 35, was killed at her apartment on Viking Court in Jeffersonville, Indiana, on January 21, 2018. She had moved there with her four children to leave a volatile relationship with her estranged husband. Josephine, originally from South Sudan, worked at Legacy Supply Co. and was described by friends and family as kind and generous.

That night she and her 13-year-old daughter returned from a funeral in Nashville. Her estranged husband, Marial Wel, arrived and an argument in the kitchen escalated; despite Josephine’s pleas for him to leave, he shot her multiple times with a .380 caliber revolver. The shooting was witnessed by the couple’s teenage daughter. Wel then forced the daughter to travel with him to Louisville, where he disposed of the weapon and bullets in a trash can near the Hall of Justice and intercepted her attempts to contact relatives.

Wel later turned himself in to Louisville police and confessed. The motive was reported as jealousy over the separation. Josephine’s death was the first homicide in Jeffersonville since 2015. If anyone knew Josephine or has information about her last days or the move to Viking Court, please share what you know.
