A 93-year-old Fremont man has been charged with murder after shooting and killing his 86-year-old wife. He surrendered soon after the incident and made an initial court appearance; his arraignment was postponed until the following week. He drove his wife to a parking lot on Mowry Avenue, shot her in the head, then called 911. He told authorities he wanted to turn himself in and said he killed her because she had been struggling with health issues and that killing was "necessary." Court documents indicate he planned the act for about a month. Neighbors described the couple as loving and said both had serious health concerns.
