Jackie Shroyer, a 44-year-old mom of five, allegedly paid her illicit boyfriend and two other men a total of $50,000 to kill her former police-officer husband, Beau Shroyer, 44, last month in

Beau Shroyer, 44, a former Detroit Lakes police officer and real estate agent, was killed “in an act of violence” on Oct. 25, according to his hometown church. He had moved to Angola in 2021 with his wife and five children to do missionary work.

Angolan authorities say two suspects in the death of Detroit Lakes missionary Beau Shroyer have been arrested. A third suspect is still at large. Shoyer’s wife has also been arrested after what authorities are describing as a murder-for-hire scheme.

Jackie Shroyer is accused of paying $50,000 to have her alleged lover help arrange the killing of her husband, Beau Shroyer.

In a Thursday article by the Angolan Press Agency, CIS alleges that Beau Shroyer’s wife, Jackie Shroyer, 44, was the “mastermind” behind the slaying, which allegedly occurred after Beau Shroyer, 44, was lured to a remote area by the suspects, who feigned engine failure, then fatally stabbed him while his wife was away from the scene.

A Minnesota church said a missionary’s wife was arrested in Angola last week after authorities in the west-central African nation linked the woman to her husband’s slaying.
