Cheyenne – Police say they told a National Guardsman with sniper training to stop harassing his estranged wife hours before she was shot to death Saturday as she sang with a band in a restaurant and bar.
David Munis remained at large Sunday.
Munis, described by friends as a “big hunter” and an avid outdoorsman, may have headed for the woods, police said.
Robin Munis was shot in the head just after midnight Saturday as she sang with a local rock group. Customers of the Old Chicago restaurant ran for cover.
“At first, we thought it was just a speaker blowing up or something. I looked over and saw her on the floor,” Travis Brooks, who had been sitting at the bar, told the Wyoming Tribune-Eagle.
The Munises had been separated for a few weeks, and Robin Munis, 40, had moved out. On Friday, she called police after getting several harassing but nonthreatening phone calls from her estranged husband, police Capt. Jeff Schulz said.
While an officer was at her home, David Munis called again.
“The officer picked up the phone in place of Mrs. Munis and just explained to him, ‘Hey – can’t do this,”‘ Schulz said. “He was very agreeable.”
Witnesses saw David Munis in the area at the time of the shooting, though no one has reported seeing the shot fired, Schulz said.
A search of the couple’s home Saturday turned up evidence tying David Munis to the shooting, Schulz said without elaborating.
