    Prosecutors seeking death penalty in trial of man accused of killing pregnant woman at Amarillo apartments

    POTTER COUNTY, Texas (KFDA) - Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in the case of Anthony Richards, the man accused of killing a pregnant woman at an Amarillo apartment complex in 2016.

    The 47th District Attorney’s Office filed the notice on Friday, August 23.

    On the same day, court-appointed defense lawyer Joe Marr Wilson asked a judge to remove him from the case. Wilson said he is not on the list of attorney’s approved to defend capital murder cases.

    Richards is facing capital murder charges for the murder of 38-year-old Charlesetta Telford, which also resulted in the death of her unborn child.

    The shooting was originally reported at an apartment complex on Plum Creek Drive.

    Court records show police say they recovered bullet shells at the crime scene that match shells from an earlier shooting Richards confessed to.

    During a follow-up of the Telford murder investigation, a cell phone belonging to Richards’ girlfriend pinged off the tower which covers the Plum Creek Apartments on June 20, during the time of the Telford murder.

    Richards is currently being held on $500,000 bond at the Potter County Correction Center.

    By myhighplains.com

    AMARILLO, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) — The death penalty will be sought against Billy Ivy after two new murder charges were brought against him earlier this month.

    According to the Amarillo Police Department, Ivy has been arrested on the charge of Capital Murder by Remuneration in the shooting death of Charlesetta Telford and her unborn child.

    He was also arrested on the charge of Capital Murder by Terror/Threat or Other Felony for the murder of Nicole Moore.

    Moore went missing in December of 2016 and has yet to be found. Amarillo Police is still offering a $10,000 reward for information that helps them find her.

    Ivy was booked into the Potter County Detention Center for both charges May 4.

    Ivy is also facing six charges of Attempted Capital Murder for Remuneration and charges of arson between Potter and Randall County.

    FBI testimony implicated Ivy as possibly being the father of Telford’s unborn child.
