HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – A man has been charged with murdering his wife in Huntington.

According to the Huntington Police Department, Robert Lee Daniels, 55, has been charged with first-degree murder for shooting his wife, Michelle Daniels, 47, of Huntington.

Police went to a residence on 12th Avenue in Huntington for a well-being check last Friday, where Michelle Daniels was found with “serious injuries.” She was taken to hospital and died later on Sunday.

After his wife's death, investigators began searching for Daniels for questioning and alerted authorities in Mingo County and Pike County, Kentucky, to help since he was a frequent resident of both areas.

Daniels was arrested Wednesday in Mingo County on unrelated charges, including threatening to commit a terrorist act and retaliating against a public servant.
