Ten days before Kurt Lametta’s death, his landlord, Ellen Wink, went to the site of an online article titled, “Bang: 5 Most Deadly Bullets on the Planet,” according to testimony Friday, the fourth day of Wink’s murder trial.

Sgt. Nate Paulino, a digital forensic examiner with the Norwalk Police Department, did a data extraction of Wink’s phone, which included her web history. Paulino said on the stand that from Jan. 9, 2022, to Jan. 12, 2022, Wink did about two dozen web searches or site visits regarding guns and hollow-point ammunition. A day earlier, the jury heard testimony that the five bullets pulled from Lametta’s body were hollow point, which are designed to do more damage.

Wink and Lametta had a contentious relationship, which played out in text messages shown to the jury Friday afternoon. Paulino read all of them aloud. The first ones shown—from May, June and July of 2021—were cordial but included rent reminders, requests for Lametta to shut off the air conditioning when he’s not home and accommodations by Wink for his late payments.

But things took a turn on Aug. 21, 2021, when Wink requested Lametta find another place to live “ASAP,” following an alleged argument between him and another tenant of Wink's property at 16 Nelson Ave.

Lametta didn't respond.

One week later, Wink texted again asking for his move-out status and requesting past rent. Lametta wrote back the following day that he didn't owe anything. He also said it was the other tenant who was the problem and should be made to leave, calling Wink's ask, "very unfair and unprofessional."

But Wink didn’t change her position. She went on to send some form of that same text over and over again for the next few months, repeatedly telling Lametta to get out of her house, but he remained.

In mid-October, Wink included a link to a Honeymooners video on YouTube—an over four-minute montage of the character Ralph evicting people using what had become Winks refrain: “Get out!”

Paulino continued to go through their chat, which showed tensions between landlord and tenant only escalated through November and December. Wink's texts became more frequent and insulting. She called Lametta “a slug,” said he needed to go to Overeaters Anonymous and told him no one in his own family even liked him. Lametta didn’t respond to most of the messages, at one point calling her texts harassment and saying he was blocking her.

The prosecution believes Wink’s anger and frustration culminated on Jan. 20, 2022, when she shot Lametta five times in the home's kitchen. Lametta was secretly recording the confrontation on his phone and ended up capturing his own death. The incident happened after she let herself in to clean out the refrigerator.

“That's ridiculous. Every day you're going to come in and throw people's stuff away?” Lametta said on the footage.

A few seconds later, the first two shots rang out.

“You, bastard!” Wink said, before firing three more shots.

Lametta appeared to fall to the ground, dropping his phone. The video temporarily went black but recorded Wink shouting obscenities at Lametta and yelling at him to, “Get out!” A few seconds later, Wink picked up Lametta’s phone and left, appearing to toss the phone in a shrub next to the house.

The jury first watched that video at the start of the trial but saw it again Friday because it was part of the data extraction done on Lametta’s phone. The prosecution also played another video found on Lametta’s phone. On Nov. 19, 2021—two months before his death—Lametta recorded Wink screaming at him. She’s not in the frame, but she can be heard using expletives, hurling insults and wailing that she hates Lametta.

Paulino also testified about photos he’d recovered from Wink’s phone that had been deleted. The pictures included ammunition—but not the kind used in the deadly shooting—the box to her Smith & Wesson revolver and a screenshot of the text exchange where Lametta said he was blocking her. Paulino said the photos were taken on Jan. 9. 2022, but he couldn’t say when they were deleted.

Along with murder, Wink is charged with criminal lockout for an incident with Lametta on Sept. 18, 2021. She's accused of locking him out of the house and throwing away his belongings.
