A man convicted of killing over a dozen elderly women was killed by his cellmate in a Texas prison.
50-year-old convicted killer, Billy Chemirmir, who is suspected to have killed 22 older women in the span of two years, was killed in his cell on Tuesday morning.
Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokeswoman Hannah Haney said in a statement that at this moment the name of the cellmate, who is serving a sentence for murder, and how Chemirmir was killed remains private.
The convicted murderer had reportedly been serving a life sentence without parole for two counts of murder at the Coffield Unit in Tennessee Colony, Texas.
According to authorities, Chemirmir had targeted older women in the Dallas area for over two years where he would kill them and steal their valuable possessions.
Reportedly, the killer was caught in March of 2018 after a 91-year-old victim survived one of his attacks and reported it to police where she stated that he had forced his way into her apartment at an independent living community for seniors, and tried to suffocate her with a pillow and took her jewelry.
Chemirmir was reportedly found the day after the attack and taken into custody after he was discovered in the parking lot of his apartment holding cash and a bunch of jewelry.
The jewelry the murderer was holding was what led authorities to victims Lu Thi Harris, 81, who was found dead in her bedroom.
Multiple of his victims had been initially ruled natural causes, despite families reporting odd circumstances and stolen jewelry and it wasn’t until the victims report that police were led to Chemirmir who was then indicted with the murder of 22 women.
13 of the charges were filed in Dallas County, and nine in Collin County. Collin County prosecutors had stated last month that they will not seek the death sentence in their cases following the two convictions in Dallas County.
The Office of Inspector General is reportedly investigating Chemirmir’s cause of death.

In light of the failure to initially connect multiple deaths to Billy Chemirmir, what improvements can be made to the investigation process in order to ensure that potential serial killers are identified and apprehended in a timely manner
Title: Serial Killer Billy Chemirmir Killed by Cellmate in Texas Prison
Introduction:
In a shocking turn of events, Billy Chemirmir, a convicted killer responsible for the deaths of over a dozen elderly women, was murdered by his cellmate in a Texas prison. This incident has raised questions about the safety and security measures in place within the correctional system.
Incident Details:
Billy Chemirmir, a 50-year-old convicted killer, is believed to have killed 22 older women over a span of two years. However, justice was served on Tuesday morning when he was killed in his prison cell. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has yet to release the name of the cellmate responsible for the crime, as well as the method used to kill Chemirmir.
Background:
Billy Chemirmir had been serving a life sentence without parole at the Coffield Unit in Tennessee Colony, Texas. He was convicted of two counts of murder. Chemirmir extensively targeted older women in the Dallas area, murdering them and stealing their valuable possessions.
Capture and Investigation:
Chemirmir was caught in March 2018 after a 91-year-old victim survived one of his attacks and reported it to the police. The victim reported that Chemirmir had forced his way into her apartment at an independent living community for seniors, tried to suffocate her with a pillow, and stole her jewelry. The authorities found Chemirmir the day after the attack in the parking lot of his apartment, holding cash and a bunch of jewelry. The discovery of the stolen jewelry led the authorities to uncover the identities of additional victims.
Failure in Investigation:
It is alarming to note that multiple victims were initially ruled as having died from natural causes, despite their families reporting odd circumstances and missing jewelry. It was only after the surviving victim’s report that the police were led to Chemirmir and subsequently indicted him for the murders of 22 women. Thirteen of the charges were filed in Dallas County, while nine were filed in Collin County. Interestingly, the Collin County prosecutors have recently announced that they will not seek the death penalty in their case against Chemirmir.
Conclusion:
The shocking murder of Billy Chemirmir by his cellmate has brought attention to the vulnerabilities and safety concerns within the Texas prison system. The incident highlights the need for reinforcing security measures to protect both inmates and staff. It also raises questions about how Chemirmir managed to go unnoticed for an extended period, resulting in the loss of innocent lives. Authorities must take steps to ensure that such tragedies do not recur in the future, both within Texas prisons and throughout the nation.
