A Baltimore anesthetist shot his ex-girlfriend in the head, confessed to it on Facebook Live then murdered his wife and shot himself on Saturday in a horrifying double murder suicide that came after years of custody battles.
Rajaee Black, 44, was a nurse practitioner anesthetist in Baltimore, Maryland, but was fired earlier this year amid a workplace dispute.
On Saturday, he took to Facebook Live to announce that he had just murderedTara Labang, his 41-year-old ex-girlfriend, and that his wife was 'next'.
'I just shot my ex-girlfriend in the head. Felt like a dream. I never thought I would be that guy.
'I can’t go to prison, so the person that really started my depression and all of this is my ex-wife. So, she next. Then I’m going to do myself too,' he said in the sickening footage.
Standing outside Wendy's home, he said: 'Oh there's my ex-wife there.'
Rajaee Black, 44, filmed himself confessing to murdering his ex-girlfriend who he 'shot in the head' on Saturday while standing outside his estranged wife's house. He then went inside and shot the wife before killing himself
He panned the camera to the front porch, where she could be seen opening the door and closing it quickly, then he marched into the home.
Just before the video ended, he can be heard saying: 'Today's the day.'
Police found their bodies in the house a short time afterwards. Their children were found safe and well inside his grey SUV outside the home.
It's unclear how old they are.
He is believed to have put the kids in the car first, before killing Wendy.
In his rant, Rajaee claimed that he had custody battles with of the women.
The Baltimore Sun cites court records that show a pattern of domestic abuse allegations and custody disputes between he and Wendy, but it's unclear if there is any such trail for Tara.
The first woman he killed was his ex-girlfriend Tara Labang, 41, who was found dead in her home. It's unclear when they dated but they worked together at University Health Maryland
Wendy Black opened the door of her home seconds before she was shot dead. It was captured on the Facebook Live
On Facebook, her friends made reference to her being a mother.
Until earlier this year, Rajaee worked in Baltimore as a nurse practitioner, helping administer anesthesia during procedures.
His ex-wife and his ex-girlfriend were both also nurses.
Rajaee Black was also a nurse anesthetist
He complained earlier this year that he had been fired, claiming theUniversity of Maryland Medical System terminated him unfairly after he blew the whistle on a doctor who was stashing drugs in his locker.
He claimed that after that, no one wanted to work with him, and says he had no choice but to then 'risk his life' by working as a nurse in the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City.
Tara worked with Rajaee at the University of Maryland Capital Region Health, at least for a period.
'We are deeply saddened by the tragic incident surrounding the death of a team member, who cared for patients in our hospital under a contract with a medical provider.
'We extend heartfelt condolences to the family and are offering grief counseling to her colleagues,' a spokesman said about her death.
Wendy worked as a nurse atHoward County General Hospital as a nurse anesthetist.
It remains unclear how many children she had with Black or how old they are now.
