Patricia Fitzgerald had recently moved back to Kansas City after living in Texas for numerous years, according to her brother, Gary Hunziker. The Kansas City Star reports that the victim grew up in Missouri but moved to Texas decades ago after her husband opened a law firm there.

Hunziker added that at this time, he doesn’t know many details surrounding his sister’s death.

“We were shocked,” he said. “It doesn’t matter the circumstances — the loss of a sister is what it’s all about.”

Mollie Fitzgerald is facing a second-degree murder charge.

The suspect, who reportedly starred in a few low budget films in 2014 and 2017, appeared as “Stark Girl” in the 2011 “Captain America” film.
