Wife, 3 others charged with killing firefighter husband to cover fraud, collect life insurance

The wife of a Cleveland firefighter conspired with a group of young men to kill her husband so she could collect on a life insurance policy and cover up financial fraud she committed in her husband’s name, prosecutors said Monday.

Uloma Walker-Curry, 44, was indicted on aggravated murder, conspiracy and felonious assault charges in the November 2013 slaying of fire Lt. William Walker, 45, the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office announced. He was shot to death in the driveway of his Cleveland home. Chad Padgett, 21, Christopher Hein, 22, and Ryan Dorty, 23, were indicted on the same charges.
