Betty Mulbah McClain, 45, was shot to death inside her Covington, Georgia home on Cinnamon Fern Circle on the evening of April 1, 2014. She suffered multiple gunshot wounds during a domestic dispute that also wounded her 12-year-old daughter in the hand; a 3-year-old grandson in the home was uninjured.

The immediate suspect was Betty’s husband, 45-year-old Aaron Garsua McClain, who fled before police arrived. His vehicle was later spotted by a state trooper in South Carolina and he was arrested. He faced charges including malice murder, felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault, cruelty to children, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Prosecutors described a marriage marked by domestic abuse; the couple had been married three months. The defense maintained the shooting occurred accidentally during a struggle for the gun, but the jury returned guilty verdicts and imposed life without parole for Betty’s murder, plus consecutive sentences for the other offenses.

Does anyone have information about Betty’s life in Covington or the family’s history that could shed more light on what happened?
