Unruh was shot in the upper body on April 17 outside a residence in Wichita, Kansas, according to a press release from the city’s police department, per ABC affiliate KAKE. She was taken to a hospital and died three days later.
Unruh was just 25.

Police recovered a gun at the scene and arrested Unruh’s estranged husband, 29-year-old Joshua Orlando. He was initially charged with aggravated battery, but the charge was upgraded to first-degree murder after Unruh’s death.

It is not immediately clear if Orlando has entered a plea or retained an attorney. He remains jailed on a $1.5 million bond.
