DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. — Police and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation were both investigating a shooting in Douglasville on Littlebrook Way Sunday morning.
According to family members at the home, 57-year-old Sabrina Willis was shot and killed by her husband, on her birthday, after an argument on Saturday night.
Willis was shot by her husband, Volanta Lejuan Walker, at least twice, witnesses told Channel 2’s Bryan Mims.
The GBI said officers got to the scene, found Willis lying in the yard and confronted Walker.
Willis’ daughters said they called 911 from inside the home.
“Walker was armed with a handgun, and officers gave commands for him to drop his gun. Volanta Lejuan Walker refused to comply with the officers and pointed the handgun toward the officers, and an officer shot him,” according to the GBI.
Walker received medical treatment at a nearby hospital, and his wife was pronounced dead at the scene.
The GBI said information indicated the two had gotten into an argument inside the house and when Willis went outside, Walker chased her out there, then shot her.
Willis’ body will be taken to the GBI Crime Lab for an autopsy, officials said.
