Bettie Jenifer, the murdered wife of Ghanaian actor, Chris Attoh, was married to two men, the police have said.

Bettie was shot dead in Greenbelt, Maryland on 10 May 2019.

According to a statement released by The Greenbelt Police Department, Jenifer had been chased through the parking lot of her office building at around 5:00 p.m. before being shot in the head in a targeted and not a random incident.

Police confirmed on Saturday, that the deceased was married to Chris Attoh, following Attoh’s divorce from his first wife.

She was also married to 47-year-old Kedrick Jenifer, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for importing large amounts of cocaine into Baltimore from Texas.

The U.S. District Attorney’s Office said the kingpin’s drug trafficking organization distributed at least 450kg of cocaine in Baltimore and Woodbridge, Virginia.

“Kedrick lived large as a major Baltimore drug dealer, but now he will lose all of his toys and live for two decades in federal prison,” U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein has said after his sentencing.

Kedrick filed for a divorce from Jenifer, on April 9, 2019, while she followed suit by filing hers, six days later.

Colleagues of Chris Attoh have taken to their social media handles to express their condolences
