Michael Egwuagu, a former college football player in Texas, has allegedly stabbed his pregnant sister to death. Egwuagu was said to have left his sister Jennifer Ebichi’s home smiling and holding a knife after stabbing her more than a dozen times.
The 25-year-old man was arrested and charged on Friday, December 27, in flugerville for killing his 32-year-old sister. An autopsy showed that Ebichi was pregnant and was estimated to be in her first trimester.
The Herald gathered that Egwuagu confessed to killing his pregnant sister in a doorbell camera at Ebichi’s home. An arrest affidavit obtained by the Austin Statesman stated that Egwuagu was heard saying, “I killed Jennifer.”

The arrest affidavit also revealed that Ebichi sent a message to another brother, Martin Egwuagu, and asked him to come to the house because Michael “was at the residence and was having a crisis.”
Martin spoke to Michael in an attempt to calm him down, but before he arrived at the home, he allegedly found his sister’s body. She had been stabbed multiple times and was lying in a pool of blood on the kitchen floor. He said he heard Ebichi’s young child crying, so he carried the child and took her out of the house.
When he got outside, Egwuagu reportedly found Michael kneeling in the street with his clothes covered in blood. Martin then called police at that point.
When police arrived at the scene, they interviewed a friend of Ebichi’s, who told police that Ebichi had called her and asked her to come to the house. But when she arrived, she heard screaming from inside the house. She told authorities that she saw Michael Egwuagu leave the home holding a bloody kitchen knife. “I killed Jennifer,” he allegedly told her.
