PHOENIX – A Phoenix man suspected of killing his wife on Halloween was released from the hospital and taken to jail on Sunday, authorities said.
David Pregler, 55, was booked for second-degree murder, prohibited weapons possession and probation violations, according to Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office jail records. His bond was set at just over $1 million.
Pregler had been hospitalized since he and his wife, 50-year-old Shonda Lynn Pregler, were found with gunshot wounds on Oct. 31 after what the Phoenix Police Department called a domestic dispute.
Officers responded to a shooting call near 89th Avenue and Indianola Avenue, south of Indian School Road, around 5:10 p.m. and found the Preglers suffering from life-threatening injuries.
Shonda Lynn Pregler died after being taken to a hospital. David Pregler underwent emergency surgery and remained in the hospital until he was deemed healthy enough to be jailed.
