Why did Andre Pugh kill Tiffany Pugh? 

Andre Pugh's motive for killing Tiffany Pugh stemmed from a combination of marital strife, financial pressure, and a desire to maintain control over their shared assets. Despite outward appearances of a happy marriage, behind closed doors, Andre and Tiffany's relationship was filled with tension and unresolved issues.

As Tiffany contemplated divorce and sought to move on with her life, Andre faced the prospect of losing not only his wife but also access to her financial resources. Desperate to maintain his lifestyle and status, Andre resorted to extreme measures to eliminate Tiffany and preserve his hold over their shared assets.

To carry out the murder, Andre enlisted the help of his best friend, Adrian Harley, offering him financial incentives and exploiting their close relationship to manipulate him into committing the act. Harley, who served as the best man at the Pughs' wedding, was tragically deceived by Andre's manipulation and ultimately became an unwitting accomplice in Tiffany's murder.

On the night of the crime, Andre carefully orchestrated his alibi, fabricating a story about receiving a call regarding a home alarm and feigning concern for Tiffany's safety. Despite his calculated efforts to deceive the police, investigators uncovered damning evidence linking Andre to the crime, including phone records placing him in close communication with Harley before the murder and surveillance footage capturing a black vehicle circling the block around the time of the crime.

Ultimately, Andre's web of lies unraveled, and he was arrested and convicted of Tiffany's murder, as he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
