A man has been found guilty of lying in wait at the Kansas home where his estranged wife was staying — and then shooting her dead when she returned.

Miguel Flores, 35, was convicted of premeditated murder in the first degree and aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, the Wyandotte County District Attorney’s Office announced this week. The violent killing occurred in the fall of 2022 in Kansas City, Kansas.

It was Nov. 21, 2022, and 23-year-old Loren Flores was out running errands. Though the woman was still married to Miguel Flores, they were “in the process of a divorce” at the time, and she was staying at a residence with friends, authorities said.

The now-convicted man pulled up to the home in the area of South 52nd Terrace and Metropolitan Avenue and waited on the front porch, a witness said in court records reviewed by local Fox affiliate WDAF. The estranged husband was reportedly angry, and Loren Flores could tell.

Loren Flores reportedly gave her cellphone to the witness, telling them to call 911 if Miguel Flores attacked her. An argument is said to have ensued, followed by the sound of gunshots.

“[Miguel] Flores then fled the scene, but was taken into custody a short time later by police,” the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department said.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene of the crime.

The defendant then sped off in a red Dodge Challenger to a relative’s home elsewhere in the city, police said. That location was shared with law enforcement by the same witness who watched it all unfold.

When officers approached the defendant at the relative’s residence, Miguel Flores pointed the Glock 10 mm handgun he had used in the murder at them from behind the driver’s side of the car. At some point, orders to drop the weapon were ignored and Miguel Flores got back in the car, police said.

Additional officers were then called to the scene and a standoff ensued before the man eventually got out of the car and surrendered the weapon, according to law enforcement.

Later, the gun was determined to be the same caliber as the casings left outside the porch were Miguel Flores shot and killed his wife.

The defendant’s jury trial began on Oct. 6, and concluded two days later with jurors finding him guilty on all counts.

Sentencing information has not yet been scheduled in his case, according to Wyandotte County court records reviewed by Law&Crime, but a first-degree murder conviction could land him in prison for the rest of his life.
