Trial Set for Va. FBI Agent Charged in Wife's Death

An FBI agent who told police he fatally shot his estranged wife in their Stafford County home is set to go on trial later this year.

A five-day jury trial is scheduled to begin Oct. 16 in Stafford Circuit Court in the case against 43-year-old Arthur Gonzales.

Gonzales is charged with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony in the April 19 shooting death of 42-year-old Julie Serna Gonzales.

During a recorded 911 call, Gonzales told the dispatcher his wife attacked him with a knife and that he had to shoot her.

The Free Lance-Star reports that Gonzales has been working as a supervisory special agent and instructor at the bureau's National Academy at Quantico.
