Former NFL player Kevin Ware Jr., 41, has pleaded guilty to the 2021 murder of his girlfriend, 29-year-old Taylor Pomaski, and has been sentenced to 30 years in prison. Ware admitted to killing Pomaski, whose remains were found in Harris County, Texas, several months after her disappearance. Court documents state that Ware cut her with a knife, hit her with a blunt object, strangled her, and then burned her corpse. Ware, a former tight end for the Washington Redskins and San Francisco 49ers, played 16 NFL games and attended the University of Washington. He reached a plea deal with prosecutors shortly before his murder trial was set to begin. He was previously indicted for murder and tampering with evidence related to Pomaski's death. Ware was out on a $23,000 bond on unrelated drug and weapons charges at the time Pomaski disappeared. Pomaski was last seen at a party at her Houston home in April 2021. Human remains discovered in December 2021 were later identified as hers. Ware's criminal history includes prior convictions for assault and drug offenses.
