Arthur Guty Jr. has been charged with criminal homicide and aggravated assault and those charges have been held for court. He is accused of killing his wife, Nicole Zambrano, who was 26 years old at the time.
“We have no doubt, based on the evidence, that this was intentional and premeditated,” Fayette County District Attorney Michael Aubele said.
According to WTAE News:
In late December, Zambrano was reported missing by co-workers at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort because she had not shown up for work for a few days.
Aubele said Guty and Zambrano were married less than a year.
Guty was arrested one day after Zambrano was found dead inside their Uniontown home. Aubele said Guty was tracked down at the Mardi Gras Resort in Las Vegas with $140,000 cash on him, and he was allegedly planning to leave the country.
Aubele said he believes Guty and Zambrano had a marital disagreement, but Guty has made no statements regarding his wife’s death.
“There was no evidence of a struggle. There was no evidence of forced entry. She appeared to be laying in her bed peacefully with a gunshot wound to the head,” Aubele said.
