Billy Chemirmir, a former healthcare worker from Kenya living in Texas, was convicted of capital murder in the death of 81-year-old Lu Thi Harris and suspected in the deaths of at least 24 elderly women across Dallas and Collin counties between 2016 and 2018. Chemirmir would allegedly target vulnerable seniors at retirement communities like Preston Place in Plano, Texas, gaining entry to their homes by posing as a maintenance worker or healthcare provider. He would then smother his victims with pillows, steal their jewelry and valuables, and sell the items within hours at local pawn shops. The case broke open when 91-year-old Mary Bartel survived an attack in March 2018 and provided crucial details to investigators. Surveillance footage from Walmart showed Chemirmir stalking victims, including Lu Thi Harris, on the day of their deaths. After a mistrial in his first trial ended 11-1, prosecutors retried the case and secured a guilty verdict in just 37 minutes of jury deliberation. Chemirmir was sentenced to life in prison without parole, but was killed by fellow inmates in his cell before he could face trial for the remaining cases, taking many secrets to his grave.
