A 76-year-old Illinois man has been charged with fatally shooting his daughter-in-law, Christine Moyer, 45, “execution style” at a family wedding after she filed for a divorce against his son, Michael.
Roland Schmidt perpetrated the crime in the parking lot of a Marriott Hotel in the state’s northwestern suburb of Schaumburg—authorities say in the presence of family members.
It has been deemed that the slaying was premeditated, and Schmidt, charged accordingly, is being held without bail.
