Estranged wife shoots husband to death

Stacy Lynn Powell, 40, an US Army soldier who was the wife of a Dixon, MO man, was charged with shooting him to death after visiting her husband. After an argument, Stacy Powell shot her husband, who was in the process of filing divorce papers.

“She came up for a visit — they were in the process of a divorce,” said Pulaski County Sheriff J.B. King. Brian Powell was still alive when Pulaski County Sheriff’s deputies arrived at the scene but died after being taken to General Leonard Wood Community Hospital.

Stacy Powell, who reportedly had knife wounds, also was taken to the hospital at Fort Leonard Wood and remains in U.S. Army custody. King said the warrant for Stacy Powell’s arrest has not yet been served, but he anticipates the “outstanding support” of the Army in the case will continue when the warrant is served.
