Chermirmir, an alleged serial killer and an illegal immigrant, was arrested in 2018. He has been accused of 12 murders and is now being accused of killing six more.A suspected serial killer, who has already been charged in the alleged murders of 12 elderly women in Texas, could also be behind the killings of six more elderly people, including one elderly man, according to multiple lawsuits filed against him on Tuesday.

The suspect, identified as 46-year-old Billy Chemirmir from Kenya, has been in police custody since March 2018 after he was arrested for the death of 81-year-old Lu Thi Harris in Dallas. According to Dallas County District Attorney's spokesperson Kim Leach, Chemirmir was charged in the deaths of 11 other women last month. The women's ages ranged from 75 years to 94 years.

'Justice prevailed:' Billy Chemirmir found guilty of capital murder​

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - He's believed to responsible for more murders in North Texas than anyone else ever to face prosecution.

Billy Chemirmir will spend the rest of his life in prison after a jury found him guilty of one out of 2 dozen suspected murders.

This was a stunningly fast verdict for a capital murder trial.

The jury deliberated less than an hour, a testament to the overwhelming evidence against Billy Chemirmir.

Billy Chemirmir showed no visible sign of emotion when the jury foreman announced the guilty verdict in the courtroom after 4 days of testimony.


But there was a lot of emotion on display among dozens of family members of elderly women who investigators say were smothered to death with their pillows inside area senior living centers.

Mary Jo Jennings, a daughter of one victim, said, "On behalf of the many victims, we are incredibly relieved that justice is finally here, especially after the mistrial 5 months ago."

That mistrial last year, because of one holdout juror, forced the victims' families to testify again about the horror of finding out that the deaths of their elderly loved ones were not from natural causes, but instead at the hands of the 45-year-old Kenyan immigrant who would then steal their valuables.

Dallas County DA John Creuzot delivered the state's closing argument and held up one of the pillows used as a murder weapon. "This man was one of the worst serial killers this century and one of the worst in history."


Chemirmir was only tried for one murder, but is accused of as many as 24. He was caught because one victim survived and cell phone data linked him to others.

Former Dallas Cowboy Cliff Harris is the son in law of one of the victims. "...Justice prevailed. And I know our whole group is so happy."

The murders have turned a harsh spotlight on security at retirement villages that these family members say was horribly inadequate because residents reported on multiple occasions that Chemirmir was trespassing.

Lori Delahunty, another victim's daughter, said, "We hope that... that these communities wake up and hold themselves accountable. That when the residents go to the management and say, 'Listen, there's a trespasser or this person doesn't look right,' that they don't dismiss it."

Even though this verdict carries a life sentence with no possibility of parole there will be a second capital murder trial to ensure that if this conviction is for some reason reversed on appeal,
Chemirmir will never get out of prison.

DALLAS (AP) — After Mary Brooks was found dead on the floor of her Dallas-area condo, grocery bags from a shopping trip still on her countertop, authorities decided the 87-year-old had died of natural causes.

Even after her family discovered jewelry was missing — including a coral necklace she loved and diamond rings — it took an attack on another woman weeks later for police to reconsider.

The next capital murder trial for Billy Chemirmir, 49, begins Monday in Dallas in the death of Brooks, one of 22 older women he is charged with killing. The charges against Chemirmir grew in the years following his 2018 arrest, as police across the Dallas area reexamined the deaths of older people that had been considered natural, even though families raised alarm bells about missing jewelry. Four indictments were added this summer.
Chemirmir, who maintains his innocence, was convicted in April of capital murder in the smothering death of 81-year-old Lu Thi Harris and sentenced to life in prison without parole. He will receive the same punishment if convicted in Brooks’ death. His first trial in Harris’ death ended in a mistrial last November when the jury deadlocked.
Loren Adair Smith, whose 91-year-old mother is among those Chemirmir is charged with killing, will be among the many relatives of victims attending the trial, which, she said, brings a “huge bag of mixed feelings.”
“At the same time of having that dread feeling, we are really glad to go back and bring this chapter to a close,” Smith said.
It was Mary Annis Bartel’s survival of a March 2018 attack that set Chemirmir’s arrest in motion. Bartel, 91 at the time, told police that a man had forced his way into her apartment at an independent living community for seniors, tried to smother her with a pillow and took her jewelry.

Before Bartel died in 2020, she described the attack in a taped interview that was played at Chemirmir’s previous trials. She said the minute she opened her door and saw a man wearing green rubber gloves, she knew she was in “grave danger.”
Police said they found Chemirmir the next day in the parking lot of his apartment complex. He was holding jewelry and cash, and had just thrown away a large red jewelry box. Documents in the box led them to the home of Harris, who was found dead in her bedroom, lipstick smeared on her pillow.
At trial, prosecutors presented evidence that Harris and Chemirmir were checking out at the same time at a Walmart just hours before she was found dead.
In a video interview with police, Chemirmir told a detective that he made money by buying and selling jewelry, and that he had also worked as a caregiver and a security guard.
Most of Chemirmir’s alleged victims lived in apartments at independent living communities for older people. The women he’s accused of killing in private homes include the widow of a man he had cared for while working as an at-home caregiver.
Brooks’ grandson, David Cuddihee, testified that he found her body on Jan. 31, 2018. He said she had sometimes used a cane but was still healthy and active.
“She would walk to church, she would walk to the dentist down the street,” Cuddihee said.
Police testified that grocery receipts showed Brooks was at Walmart the day before her body was found. Surveillance video from the store showed a vehicle matching the description of Chemirmir’s leaving just after Brooks, going in the same direction.
Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot, a Democrat, decided to seek life sentences rather than the death penalty when he tried Chemirmir on two of his 13 capital murder cases in the county. His Republican opponent has criticized that decision as he seeks reelection in the nation’s busiest death penalty state.
In an interview with The Dallas Morning News, Creuzot said he’s not against the death penalty, but among things he considers when deciding whether to pursue it are the time it takes before someone is executed, the costs of appeals and whether the person would still be a danger to society behind bars. Chemirmir, he added, is “going to die in the penitentiary.”
Prosecutors in neighboring Collin County haven’t said if they will try any of their nine capital murder cases against Chemirmir.

Billy Chemirmir is accused of killing at least two dozen elderly people in North Texas. His case has been cited by Twitter pundits and media outlets as an example of why the United States needs tougher immigration laws.
The serial murder suspect is a Kenyan immigrant. Some have suggested he overstayed a visa and is in the U.S. illegally.

But Chemirmir is not an unauthorized immigrant. According to a statement from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, he has permanent resident status.
Here’s some of what we know about Chemirmir’s past and his immigration status.

  • According to a recent interview with The Dallas Morning News, Chemirmir says he came to the U.S. in 2003, where he sold cars and worked as a senior caregiver.
  • In 2004, he married in Denton County. The couple divorced in Dallas County in 2006.
  • Chemirmir has been arrested twice on charges of driving while intoxicated: in 2010 in Addison and in 2011 in Dallas. He was arrested on a family violence charge in 2012 and sentenced to 70 days in the Dallas County Jail.
  • In June 2016, Chemirmir was arrested on a criminal trespass charge after showing up at Edgemere, a high-end senior living complex in Dallas where authorities now believe he killed two women the month before. He was sentenced to 70 days in the Dallas County Jail but was released on good behavior after 12 days.
Michelle Saenz-Rodriguez, a Dallas immigration attorney, said those previous charges wouldn’t be enough to deport Chemirmir. In 2004, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that DWI convictions aren’t enough to deport someone. Assault, too, is not a deportable offense, although domestic violence is, Saenz-Rodriguez said.

In cases where immigrants commit crimes, state prosecutions have to line up with federal crimes in order for that immigrant to be deported, she said.
“Nothing is black and white in immigration law, that’s for sure,” Saenz-Rodriguez said. “In order for someone to be deported from the United States, the state charge has to be a match with the federal crime.”
On March 20, 2018, Chemirmir was arrested on a charge of capital murder in the death of Lu Thi Harris, 81. He later was charged with attempted capital murder in separate attacks on two women in Frisco and Plano.
Three days later, an immigration hold was placed on Chemirmir’s file. A detainer means that when the person is released from state custody, ICE is able to detain them and potentially begin deportation proceedings. According to ICE’s website, detainers are used when the agency has “probable cause to believe that they are removable from the United States.”
A detainer does not automatically mean that the person in jail is an unauthorized immigrant. ICE also is able to place a detainer on other immigrants “who may pose a threat to our communities,” according to the ICE website. Saenz-Rodriguez said that it can vary from county to county how many detainers are placed on unauthorized immigrants rather than those who have legal status.

Still, the detainer is just a request from the federal agency to the local agency. The local agency is not required to hold immigrants if they post bail or are acquitted, Saenz-Rodriguez said.
“You have to have the cooperation of the local law enforcement agency to honor that detainer,” she said.

In the online jail lookup for Dallas County, Chemirmir’s immigration hold is marked “illegal alien.” Raul Reyna, a spokesperson for the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department, said that the hold with that designation is placed when ICE files paperwork with the department that someone is “suspected of being an illegal alien.” The designation stays in place while ICE conducts its investigation, Reyna said.
But that marker on the Dallas County Jail website led to confusion among reporters nationwide. The News reported several times that Chemirmir was an unauthorized immigrant but has since corrected those stories.

ICE released a statement confirming Chemirmir’s residency status after he was charged with multiple counts of capital murder.
“On March 23, 2019, deportation officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) filed an immigration detainer with the Dallas County (Texas) Jail on Billy Kipkorir Chemirmir, 45, a citizen of Kenya and a lawful permanent resident of the U.S., after he was charged with capital murder,” the statement reads.
Further details about his status are confidential. Chemirmir says he is innocent of the charges against him. His lawyer, Phillip Hayes, declined to comment on the case.
The case was the subject of a two-part series, “Guardians,” which ran in December 2019 in The News.
 

Families Seek Recognition for Alleged Billy Chemirmir Murder Victims Whose Cases Were Dismissed​


Relatives seek death sentence in Billy Chemirmir's Collin County cases​



By Ken Kalthoff • Published October 28, 2022 • Updated on October 28, 2022 at 6:30 pm​


Friends and family on Friday remembered victims that convicted serial killer Billy Chemirmir is accused of murdering but will not stand trial for.


Friends and relatives of victims believed to be murdered by convicted killer Billy Chemirmir gathered in the rain Friday to pay tribute to the Dallas County victims whose cases were dismissed.
Members of the group said they hope justice is not over for the man who authorities say preyed on senior citizens.
“This is not rain. These are the tears of our aged ones,” relative Dan Probst said.
Under umbrellas outside the Tradition Prestonwood senior living facility, they said prayers and read the names of the Dallas County victims whose cases will not go to trial.
“We are bonded together because it was a very unique experience of, ‘oh, your mom died,' or, 'your mom died and she was robbed,'” relative Shannon Gleason Dion said. “The thought was, 'how can we connect our loved one's names to the terrible crime that happened?'"
Dion’s 92-year-old mother Doris Gleason was murdered at Tradition Prestonwood exactly six years ago Friday. She said she kissed her mother goodbye that afternoon.
“She lived in the apartment up there with the flowers on the balcony. And I did not know that was the last time I would see my mother alive,” Dion said.
The daughter said her mother was one of eight victims at Tradition Prestonwood who Billy Chemirmir was indicted for killing. In some cases, he gained access to victims by posing as a maintenance man.


The relatives said death certificates that initially attributed the cause as natural were changed to homicide as investigators connected Chemirmir.


Dion said her mother was in excellent health the day she died.


"We had just taken my mom on an Alaskan cruise two months before and she climbed four flights of stairs because she could not wait for the elevator. She was very spry, very spunky," she said.


Dion spoke directly to Chemirmir in a victim impact statement two weeks ago after Chemirmir’s second life sentence for killing two other victims.


Last week prosecutors dismissed the remaining Dallas County cases. The relatives knew the dismissals were planned but felt a demonstration was necessary Friday.


"Today we’re here to remember our loved ones and make that recognition," Dion said.


After the second sentence on Oct. 7, Dallas County District Attorney John Cruezot said those two cases were the strongest. He said death sentences are sometimes never carried out due to appeals.


"Mr. Chemirmir will die in the penitentiary and that was my goal. I stated it. And I said we're going to do this twice to accomplish it and here we are,” Creuzot said.


Some of the relatives remain disappointed with the lack of a death sentence and individual justice for their cases.


“I don't think that is strong enough for Texas law and for the gravity of these crimes,” Probst said.


His aunt was killed at a different Dallas location in another 2016 murder.


“We reported her robbery and murder within 24 hours and nothing ever came of that,” Probst said.


But when other similar cases became public in 2018, Probst said investigations blamed his aunt’s death on Chemirmir without ever filing charges. Probst said it goes to show there are likely even more than the 22 known crimes that have been connected to Chemirmir.


“There are family friends who took this guy out to dinner because he was so lovable. And that changed when they started missing jewelry. This is all prior to my aunt’s death,” Probst said.


Also in the group Friday was Karen Harris, the daughter of another murder victim.


“My mother is Mary Melton. She lived in Plano. She's one of the nine indictments in Collin County,” Harris said.


The relatives said there have been meetings with the Collin County District Attorney but his office has declined public comment on the cases.


The relatives said they hope Collin County will pursue a death sentence.


Through a spokesperson, Tradition-Prestonwood Senior Living issued the following statement.


"The deaths by an alleged serial killer in peoples’ homes and at multiple senior living communities in the DFW Metroplex were a true tragedy.


The Tradition-Prestonwood regards all our residents as family.


The Tradition-Prestonwood relied on the investigations of the Dallas police, its detectives, and other reputable, established governmental entities, including the Dallas County Medical Examiner, the Collin County Medical Examiner, and more.


Any death was investigated by Dallas police and the Dallas County Medical Examiner and was ruled as attributed to natural causes. Additionally, there were two autopsies that also confirmed death by natural causes.


The Tradition-Prestonwood cooperated with all the authorities and continues to do so.

Texas prosecutor says he will not seek death penalty for man THE BLACK THING in slayings of 2 elderly WHITE women​


Updated 6:10 AM MST, August 25, 2023


McKINNEY, Texas (AP) — A Texas prosecutor says he will not seek the death penalty for a man THING convicted of killing two WHITE elderly women and suspected of killing nearly two dozen total WHITE WOMEN.
“Billy Chemirmir is an evil person THING who preyed upon our most vulnerable WHITE citizens,” Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis said in a statement Thursday.
“Although he is certainly deserving of a death sentence, my decision ... is informed by the fact that he has already been tried three times in another county and he will never be a free man THING again,” Willis said.

The first murder trial of Chemirmir, 50, for the slaying of Lu Thi Harris, 81, ended in mistrial in Dallas County. He was later convicted in a second trial for Harris’ death and convicted of a second killing in the death of WHITE Mary Sue Brooks, 87.
Chemirmir has maintained his innocence of the crimes.
Authorities say Chemirmir preyed on older WHITE women, killing them and stealing their valuables.
THE THING was caught after a 91-year-old WHITE woman survived an attack and told police he forced his way into her apartment at an independent living community for seniors, tried to smother her with a pillow and took her jewelry.
Police said they found THE THING named Chemirmir the next day in the parking lot of his apartment complex holding jewelry and cash, having just thrown away a large red jewelry box. Documents in the jewelry box led them to the home of WHITE WOMAN Harris, who was found dead in her bedroom.
