A search is currently underway for a Minnesota man who was recently paroled for murder after being charged with killing his pregnant wife and linked to another shooting. Mychel Stowers, 36, is facing two counts of second-degree murder in the shooting that tragically took the life of 35-year-old Damara Alexis Kirkland, who was approximately two months pregnant.
Authorities discovered Kirkland's body after responding to reports of gunfire, with ultrasound photos found in the apartment and a letter addressed to Stowers in the mailbox. Stowers had been released on parole in March for a previous second-degree murder conviction in the 2008 shooting death of a St. Paul man. At the time of the recent shooting, he was on work release and residing at a halfway house, having been granted a pass to visit a woman described as his ex-wife.
