Kelk, 53, had mourned the death of her ex-husband in a since-deleted Facebook post. “Hamid, the kids and I are in so much shock we miss you so bad,” she said. “August 23rd 5:30pm they took Hamid away from us right in front of his practice. He was always helping people seeing tens and thousands of patients for decades we fought HARD to make life happen starting from nothing in the apartment and still the world is so cold.” The now-suspected murderer said her family had to be “strong in the face of evil” to remember Mirshojae. The former couple shared three adult children.
Hours before her arrest, LAPD and federal investigators raided Kelk’s Calabasas home Thursday evening, according to KTTV. It was not revealed if anything was discovered during the search. In August, Kelk denied any involvement in her ex-husband’s death. “It’s all lies,” she said, according to the Los Angeles Times. After separating from his ex-wife, Dr. Mirshojae remarried in 2023, and the newlywed couple shared a 6-month-old girl at the time of his death. His new wife and daughter were visiting family in Turkey at the time of the shooting, but jetted back to the US after learning the heartbreaking news.
