A 30-year-old woman who confessed to killing her military spouse admitted to posting a comment two-days earlier in a private Facebook group. Court documents revealed the entire incident was captured on video.

In a private Facebook group called “Are We Dating The Same Guy? | Virginia Beach / Norfolk / Newport News,” Christina Wang posted a photo of her husband along with the comment, “This is my husband Calvin. If you see him on this app or any of the others please know that he is MARRIED. And please let me know if he matches/chats with you.”

Calvin Wang was on active duty serving in the U.S. Navy, the couple had a 6-year old son.

Over the Summer of 2023, Christina Wang allegedly was involved in an altercation with her husband Calvin Wang. Following the battery incident, where Christina slapped Calvin so hard that his glasses fell off his face, he reportedly told Christina to leave the home. Instead, Christina retrieved a firearm, shot her husband in the stomach and head, killing him.

According to other media reports, Calvin Wang had filed for divorce and later created a Bumble online dating profile, which Christina screenshotted and posted to the Facebook group. Calvin Wang had previously accused his wife of engaging in extramarital affairs, as a filing from the decedent’s attorney regarding the divorce accused his wife of engaging in extramarital affairs, to which Christina’s attorney at the time countered with a filing that claimed, “Plaintiff has condoned Defendant’s adulterous acts and thus Plaintiff cannot use adultery as a ground for Divorce.”

Law Enforcement Today reported, “Considering the background of adultery accusations, divorce proceedings, and Christina’s self-proclaimed permission to engage in adultery, the now-accused murderer had bizarrely taken to a Facebook group to inquire whether or not her husband was being faithful mere days before his slaying.”

According to court records obtained by the Wisconsin Law Journal, Wang is currently in custody at the Virginia Beach City Jail and faces multiple charges for second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.  A Virginia judge ruled last Thursday that the case will go before a grand-jury trial on February 28.

Roger Whitus, the attorney representing Christina, “fruitlessly attempted to argue that his client bore a history of anxiety and depression during the bond hearing.”

U.S. Navy officials released a statement following Calvin’s death.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and coworkers during this time. This loss is felt personally by the people who served with him and by our Navy as a whole. Each Sailor is an invaluable part of our team and he is sorely missed. Grief counseling services and support are available through the chain of command and local chaplain. An investigation by the Virginia Beach Police Department is currently ongoing. Please direct all additional questions to Virginia Beach Police Department.”
