Killed By

 * Rick Grimes

When Pete is separated from his wife and son and is moved to another house, he takes a knife and walks outside with the intention to kill Rick. Regina notices and gets between the two men and Pete slashes Regina's throat, effectively killing her. Rick pulls out his gun and gets permission from Douglas, Regina's husband, to kill Pete.

Pete's death, however, was a factor in the destruction of Alexandria, because when Rick shot Peter, the sound alerted Derek and his group to the safe zone. Zombies were alerted to the safe zone after Derek and his group were attacked.
