Police in Oregon are on the hunt for an “armed and dangerous” woman who they say shot and killed her husband last week before going on the run.

Analiesa Golde, 55, is wanted on a charge of second-degree murder in the killing of her husband, 37-year-old Phillip Pierce, the Portland Police Bureau announced Tuesday.

“Golde should be considered armed and dangerous,” investigators warned. “Anyone who spots Golde is urged to call 911 immediately.”

Cops first responded to a report of a missing person in Portland’s Lents neighborhood shortly before 9 a.m. Friday.

While carrying out a search in the area, police received information that the missing man, identified as Pierce, might be inside a locked home on Sun Crest Drive.

The officers forced their way inside the house to perform a welfare check and found Pierce dead from a gunshot wound. The death has been ruled a homicide.

Investigators have since identified the victim’s wife as the prime suspect in his killing. There was no immediate word on a possible motive.

Golde’s whereabouts are unknown. Police said she may be driving a 2015 burnt orange Toyota 4Runner with Oregon license plate 501HSB and decals in the rear and side windows that read “Uplifted Aesthetics.”

Neighbors in the typically quiet residential area where Golde and Pierce lived described the man’s murder as “shocking.”

“I would see him in his garage working and we would stop and talk,” a neighbor who gave his name only as Harold R. told the station KPTV. “He’s always been very calm, very collected.”

Another neighbor, who did not wish to speak on camera, told the outlet that there was “a bit of an age gap” between the spouses, but she said “it seemed to work.”

“[They are] normal, normal people. I would not have expected this,” the woman added.
