Brother of former fiancé shocked to hear Texas woman accused of killing another romantic partner

The brother of David Bragg is shocked after authorities in northern Minnesota are taking a second look at his 2018 death investigation after David’s former fiancé was recently indicted on murder charges in the death of her current husband in Texas.

Daniel Bragg says David had only lived in Garfield, Minnesota, near Alexandria for about six months, when his fiancé, Sarah Hartsfield, shot and killed him five years ago. The Douglas County attorney found that Hartsfield, whose last name was Donohue at the time, shot David in self-defense and declined to press charges in David’s death.

Authorities in Douglas County reopened their investigation into David’s death after Hartsfield was charged with murdering her husband Joe Hartsfield in suburban Houston. Daniel says it’s a shame someone else had to pass away for his brother’s death to get a second look.
