An Arizona man was arrested after allegedly shooting and killing his wife at their Mesa home early Monday morning.
Just after midnight, a man called 911 to report that his stepfather, 43-year-old David Hahn Osowski, had just shot his wife multiple times inside their house on 1st Place, near Main Street and Horne.
Officers arrived to find David walking out of the home. As he was being detained, officers noticed what appeared to be blood on his hands and clothes.
When Mesa police asked if anyone else was in the home, he said no before reportedly saying, “She is inside dead on the bed.”
Officers found Osowski’s wife, Amy, dead from multiple gunshot wounds in the master bedroom. Police recovered two guns in that room, along with another on a kitchen counter and multiple shell casings.
According to court documents, Amy’s son said he woke up to a commotion outside his bedroom door around midnight. When he opened the door, he said he saw his mother and stepfather arguing.
He told investigators that he heard David say that God told him he wasn’t part of the family and that Amy and her son were trying to hurt him. The argument moved into the backyard before Amy and her son went back inside. Amy’s son told investigators that David returned a few minutes later, went to the master bedroom closet, and came out with a handgun.
Court paperwork says that’s when he saw his stepfather shoot his mom five times. Then, as he ran from the home to call 911, he said he heard 10 more gunshots.
Osowski was booked on a charge of first-degree murder.
