A Nebraska man faces charges of killing his ex-fiancee after twice being arrested on domestic violence charges and bonding out.
In fact, Casey Kindt, 54, allegedly barged into the home of 36-year-old Jamie Hagen and shot her multiple times just a day after bonding out of jail for the second time.
“She talked to the police department, she got the restraining order, got the victim’s unit involved. Local law enforcement, they all have been awesome here in Seward,” Hagen’s father, Charles Hagen told KOLN. “So, did everything right, and it didn’t really do any good.”
According to court documents, Kindt was arrested on December 16 and charged with terroristic threats, domestic assault, and child abuse for threats against Hagen and her daughter and an attack on Hagen. He was ordered to have no contact with Hagen after he bonded out, but he did and was rearrested in early January.
He bonded out of jail again late last week after a judge minimally raised his bail, and then barged into Hagen’s home Saturday night and shot her multiple times. Police found her body and Kindt with what they described as a self-inflicted gunshot wound. One of Hagen’s children was also inside the home and was not physically harmed, the Nebraska State Patrol said. That child made the 911 call.
“He was put in jail twice over this and still posted bond. If he’d of just stayed in there this wouldn’t have happened,” Charles Hagen said.
Kindt remains hospitalized with what are described as life-threatening injuries. The Nebraska State Patrol is conducting the homicide investigation and has custody of the killer.
