The 48-year-old wife of the 72-year-old Texas judge is accused of shooting and killing her 40-year-old nephew inside the couple’s $500,000 home during a heated argument “after telling him to leave.” will change.”

A judge’s wife allegedly shot and killed her nephew in an argument while he was in her home desperately trying to grab the gun.

James Wolfe, 40, was shot in the chest at the home of his uncle, Harris County Justice of the Peace Bob Wolfe, 72, around 9:20 p.m. Thursday.

Bob’s wife, Mei Wolfe, 48, was charged with murder for allegedly grabbing a gun during an argument, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.

The elder Wolfe called 911 when the situation escalated and tried to grab the gun after Mei allegedly returned to the room brandishing it, but it was too late.

Mei was arrested at the $500,000 home on Ticino River Loop in Katy, Texas, that night and held in the Harris County Jail on $100,000 bail.

James began traveling in Europe after graduating college, but recently returned to Houston and was living with his uncle.

Police said Mei did not get along with her nephew and described the situation between them as “an ongoing dispute.”

“It may have been a situation where the owner of the house felt like she was no longer welcome and a riot broke out because of that,” Gonzalez said.

“She pulled out a gun and something happened during the altercation, and she fired one shot, hitting the nephew.”

Bob disarmed his wife after she allegedly fired the first shot, but James died from his injuries despite the efforts of paramedics.

Mei’s daughter was also in the house at the time of the shooting.

James’ social media profiles show him posing with a king’s guard in London, drinking Guinness in Dublin and touring the 101st Airborne Museum in Belgium.

He also visited historic buildings and cathedrals in Cologne and other parts of Germany, Amsterdam and the beaches of Normandy during World War II.

Bob married Mei after the death of his first wife and father of her two children. He has a daughter who lives with them and attends a local public school.

His oldest son, Mike Wolfe, served as a board member of the Harris County Department of Education and is a candidate for the Texas State Board of Education, District 6.

‘We have seen a lot of family and relationship violence lately… sometimes it extends beyond [husband and wife] to other family members,” González said.

‘In this case… a homeowner and her nephew. A very tragic situation.’
