WOODLAND HILLS, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — The ex-wife of a doctor who was shot and killed outside his medical clinic in Woodland Hills made her first appearance in court Tuesday, one day after she was charged with murder in connection with his death.
Prosecutors allege that 53-year-old Ahang Mirshojae, of Calabasas, hired a hit man to kill the victim, Dr. Hamid Mirshojae, for unspecified financial gain.
The murder charge against Mirshojae includes the special circumstance allegations of lying in wait and murder for financial gain in connection with the Aug. 23 slaying of her 61-year-old ex-husband, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. She is also facing a felony count of assault with a deadly weapon in connection with an alleged baseball bat attack May 3 on her former husband.
Ahang Mirshojae, who was being held without bail, briefly appeared in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom Tuesday morning. Wearing a standard orange jumpsuit assigned to jail inmates, she was seen speaking with her attorney and afterward answered questions posed to her by the judge.
Her arraignment was then postponed until Jan. 6.
Ahang Mirshojae, the ex-wife of slain physician Dr. Hamid Mirshojae, appears in court on Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2024.
Her attorney, Donald Marks, spoke to reporters outside the courthouse, where he gave brief remarks.
