A 54-year-old woman in California will likely spend the rest of her life behind bars for the cold-blooded execution of her 65-year-old husband, whom she ambushed and killed with a shotgun last year. A 12-person jury in Tulare County on Thursday found Pennie Henson Ince guilty on one count of first-degree murder with the special circumstance of lying in wait and using a firearm in causing a death for the slaying of Randal Waine Ince, authorities announced.

According to a press release from the Tulare County District Attorney’s Office, Pennie Ince at about 1:19 p.m. on March 6, 2022 called her stepdaughter and told her that Randal Ince “needed an ambulance” and then abruptly hung up on her. The daughter was unable to get back in touch with Pennie Ince or her father on the phone, so she drove to his house located in the 22400 block of Rd 130 east Tulare, about 200 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

When she arrived at the residence, the daughter found that her father’s truck was missing, and she assumed that Pennie Ince and her father had gone to the hospital. She called hospitals in the region to locate her father but was unsuccessful.

Randal Ince’s daughter then went back to her father’s home with a family friend who was able to pick the lock on the front door. Inside she found a grisly scene: her father’s body was in the entryway of the home and he had been shot at least once with a shotgun. The shotgun believed to be the murder weapon was found in the living room.
