Alabama Father, 42, Shot and Killed While Coming to Work, Leaving His Wife and Three Daughters Pregnant

Alabama authorities are investigating the tragic death of Rosniery Mejía Magaña, a 42-year-old father of three, who was shot to death outside his Montgomery home during an apparent robbery attempt, according to local reports.

Magaña was preparing to leave for work last Wednesday when the shooting occurred just steps from the door of his home in the Evergreen Estates mobile home park. WSFA reported. First responders pronounced him dead at the scene and police are treating the incident as a homicide.

“Rosniery was leaving, and the guy literally walks into the house and shoots him right in the face,” said Caren Montoya, a relative of Magaña. KGNS.

Montoya described Magaña as one of the kindest people anyone could meet. He expressed regret that the alleged shooter not only took Magaña’s life but also robbed him of the opportunity to watch his three daughters grow up and welcome his unborn son. Montoya revealed that the family had recently found out about the pregnancy.

“I found out that same day because she (Magaña’s wife) said something,” Montoya shared. “I was like, ‘Oh, you’re pregnant.’ She said, ‘We were trying to find a way to surprise the family.'” Five years ago, Magaña and her family fled violence in Honduras in search of a safer life in the United States.

Montoya lamented the cruel irony that Magaña was a victim of the same type of violence they had tried to escape. “They came fleeing from very similar situations,” Montoya said. “They’ve killed a lot of families in their country, so they ran away from that… only for him to come here, and the same thing happens.”

Montoya added that the murder has left the family feeling unsafe. “Everyone is terrified right now. His other cousin is afraid to return home. You are not sure. You are not.”

To support Magaña’s grieving family, a GoFundMe campaign has been created to cover funeral expenses and help send your remains back to Honduras. The funds will also help his daughters and pregnant wife.

“As many of you know, he was sadly murdered inside his home,” the family wrote in the campaign description. “We ask for all your prayers and support… any donations would be greatly appreciated.”
