ROUND ROCK, Texas -- A Round Rock woman is facing murder charges after the homicide of a Round Rock Kia general manager.
Nancy Khan, also known as Nancy Flores, is charged with murder and tampering with physical evidence after authorities found her husband, Ali Khan, dead in their Round Rock home on Saturday, Feb. 28. Investigators claim they spoke to one of Nancy's friends, who told them the woman confessed that she had shot and killed her husband. During the investigation, detectives said they discovered evidence linking Nancy to the crime scene, and they suspect she may have moved her husband's body after he was killed.
Detectives responded to the Khans' home on Los Alamos Court after Ali's coworker at Round Rock Kia reported that Ali did not show up to work on Saturday. The coworker told investigators he went to the Khans' house, and when Ali did not answer the door, he called Nancy, who said she was out of town and would not be home for several hours.
Investigators said Nancy gave Ali's coworker "unsolicited details of her marital problems" over the phone while she was driving home. When she got home around 1 p.m., the complaint states, she told Ali's coworker to wait outside while she went in the house because her husband "may not be fully clothed." According to investigators, Ali's coworker heard Nancy scream, and when he went inside the house, Ali was dead on the floor of the master bathroom with with five gunshot wounds to the torso and two to the head. Captain Fred Thomas with the Williamson County Sheriff's Office said they believe Ali was killed on Friday, Feb. 27, even though his body was not found until the next day.
The complaint states Nancy told detectives that jewelry and money had been stolen from the home. Investigators later found an expensive men's watch, believed to be Ali's, as well as blood-stained pants from her vehicle. Investigators also found physical evidence potentially linking Nancy to the crime scene, including a shell casing from a 9mm weapon near Ali's body. The complaint states a box of ammunition for a 9mm pistol was found in Nancy's vehicle, but they have not yet found the weapon. They also found blood on Nancy's feet.
The complaint states Ali's body appeared to have been moved from its original position, based on smeared blood and the position of his body. Investigators said items had been added and removed from the scene and the missing items were later recovered inside Nancy's vehicle.
According to the complaint, Nancy originally told officers she was out of town and was returning, but later admitted she had moved out of the home and was separated from Ali. She also reportedly provided inconsistent statements as to her whereabouts during the time frame of the murder. She admitted to police that she came back to the house at least once in attempts to find Ali and even drove to other locations he frequently visited, as she suspected he was having an affair, investigators said.
Nancy told officers she and Ali had been arguing in the days leading up to his death, including a physical altercation they had before she left the house. Nancy also told police she and Ali were texting, talking on the phone and emailing about their marital issues up until the time of his death.
Thomas said the couple has a history of domestic problems. She was charged with assaulting her husband in August.
"Normally when someone is shot that many times, there's a lot of anger involved," Thomas said.
Thomas said Nancy Khan is not cooperating with investigators.
Nancy Khan is in the Williamson County Jail on a $2 million bond.
