The dead Brooklyn mom was discovered inside her apartment building an hour after two cops failed to respond to a 911 call. The city medical examiner ruled that she was strangled. &#8211; Officially ruling her death a homicide cleared the way for prosecutors to seek upgraded charges against her husband.<br />
The victim&#8217;s husband, Barry, was taken into custody for a psychological evaluation, and held without bail on Rikers Island, charged with aggravated family offense for violating an order of protection. He is now charged with her murder.</p>
<h6 class="ra-caption"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-289008" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Relatives-of-Tonie-Wells-screamed-at-her-husband.jpg" alt="Relatives of Tonie Wells screamed at her husband.jpg" width="1200" height="800" />The victim&#8217;s family let loose at her husband in court on Thursday</h6>
<p>Wells was recently pregnant, but suffered a miscarriage after a domestic quarrel, a cousin revealed. This was confirmed by a police source who said Wells was eight months pregnant when she lost her baby a month earlier.<br />
An hour earlier, the doomed woman was heard screaming in the background of a 911 call from a family member. “He’s going to kill me,” Tonie Wells shrieked, according to sources.<br />
But the responding officers, identified as Wing Hong Lau and Wael Jaber, left the scene without even stepping out of their car on the bitter cold morning.<br />
Lau, 47, and the 42-year-old Jaber, both 11-year veterans.\ were later castigated for their actions by Police Commissioner James O’Neill.<br />
“I always speak to how proud I am of our officers, but unfortunately when we don’t live up to that standard we have to fully investigate,” O’Neill said. The matter has been referred to Internal Affairs is for investigation.<br />
Through his lawyer, Barry Wells pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder charges in the brief court appearance marked by a series of angry outbursts.<br />
But he told police and prosecutors that he had everything to do with the killing of his young wife, according to court papers.</p>

<p>In two separate interviews, Wells told investigators that he had started seeing other women because his wife had an order of protection against him.<br />
The pair started fighting at the entrance to the apartment at about 8 a.m. Their 2-year-old daughter was left outside as the brawl moved into the home, he said.<br />
“Tonie was swinging at him and he grabbed her and brought her inside the apartment,” according to court papers summarizing Wells’ statements.<br />
“Then he grabbed her by the neck and they ended up by the basement door.”<br />
Wells told police she fell down the stairs and was gasping for air.<br />
Even though he knows CPR, he didn’t perform it on his dying wife, court papers say.<br />
Instead, Wells checked her pulse and then fled after realizing that she was dead, the documents say.<br />
The suspect was later overheard telling his grandmother, “I can’t do this. I killed my wife,” according to court documents.</p>

<p>Wells, who was hospitalized after his arrest, kept his head down throughout the proceeding at Brooklyn Supreme Court.<br />
He was ordered held without bail.As Wells was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs, his wife’s family showered him with verbal barbs.<br />
“Motherf&#8212;-r, you&#8217;re going to die in hell,” one yelled.<br />
“He’s gonna rot,” hollered another.<br />
Both responding officers are suspended, and the victim’s mother has filed court papers signaling her plan to sue the city.<br />
Elizabeth Rivera filed a petition in Manhattan Supreme Court asking that a judge order the NYPD to turn over 911 tapes, police logs and other documents.<br />
Information on Jaber and his partner, Lau&#8217;s botched response is necessary for Rivera&#8217;s anticipated wrongful death lawsuit against the city regarding her 22-year-old daughter&#8217;s death, she said in documents.</p>

A March 29 video on Wells’ Facebook page showed her husband delivering a bag of takeout food that actually held an engagement ring.<br />
The two were married less than two weeks later.<br />
