- Prosecutors in northeastern Pennsylvania will seek the death penalty for a man accused of killing his wife in front of her children.
Prosecutors say Donnell Buckner killed his wife, Kewaii Rogers-Buckner, in March as two of her three children were in the room at their Wilkes-Barre home. Authorities say the couple were arguing over a protection from abuse order against Buckner when Rogers-Buckner was killed.
Buckner's 12-year-old stepdaughter described the shooting when she testified at his preliminary hearing in April. She said she was just feet away when her 34-year-old father fired the last two of four gunshots to kill her mother.
Buckner pleaded not guilty Wednesday morning and is being held without bail.
A phone message left Wednesday with Buckner's attorney was not immediately returned.
