Man ‘kills girlfriend then confesses to her ex in a text’.

A man fatally shot his girlfriend and then sent a text message telling her ex-husband, authorities said.

Anthony Tobias Fagiano, 35, was charged with deliberate homicide hours after he turned himself in, telling officers he broke into Darcy Buhmann’s house and shot her, according to police in Bozeman.

Buhmann’s ex-husband, Christopher Wood, called 911 to report he received a text from Fagiano that said he had shot Buhmann. The message reportedly said: ‘It’s best for you, she’ll never be faithful.’

Police found Buhmann’s body in her bedroom wardrobe. She was shot in the head and stomach.

Fagiano told investigators he took Buhmann’s car after the shooting and went to the woods, where he sent texts to several family members about the shooting. A relative urged him to report what he had done to authorities, so he drove to the court and police facility in Bozeman, charging documents said.

When an officer asked if his girlfriend needed medical attention, he apparently replied, ‘No man, she’s dead. I popped her in the head’.

Fagiano told officers he had been in a relationship with Buhmann for about a year and had been thinking about killing her for several months. He said he recently stole a rifle, intending to use it to kill her. Fagiano was served with a restraining order filed by Buhmann on Feb. 21, prosecutors said. She listed him as her ex-boyfriend.

‘It took less than one month, and we have a homicide case,’ Gallatin County Attorney Marty Lambert said when recommending bail be set at $1 million. ‘He’s an extreme risk to the members of this community.’

Fagiano appeared in court via video. He did not enter a plea
