Officers located the victim inside of the residence suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Medics arrived on scene and pronounced the victim deceased.
It is alleged that Defendant Pointer fired a handgun multiple times, fatally wounding the victim.

“This is Wayne County’s 69th domestic violence homicide since 2019. Thousands of non-fatal domestic violence warrant requests have been presented to this office over the same time period. And those are just the ones that are reported. These statistics are beyond sobering,” said Prosecutor Kym Worthy.
