Kenya Native Billy Chemirmir Indicted on Capital Murder of an Elderly Woman in Dallas, Texas

A Kenyan man has been indicted by a grand jury in Dallas, Texas with the murder of an 81-year-old woman.

45-year-old Billy Chemirmir was indicted last week on capital murder in connection with the death of Lu Thi Harris in March of this year in Frisco, Texas. The charge sheet states that Chemirmir entered Harris’s home, killed her by smothering her with a pillow then stole her jewelry.

Police were conducting surveillance on Chemirmir on a separate attack and theft from a different elderly woman when they observed him throwing away a jewelry box into a dumpster outside his apartment. When officers retrieved the box they found Harris’ name inscribed on it and decided to do a welfare check on her residence, where they found her dead of apparent suffocation. Police also say they found a set of keys belonging to Harris inside Chemirmir’s vehicle.

Chemirmir is being investigated for several other attacks on elderly women in the Dallas area. He is being held in the Dallas County Jail on $1 million bond.
