Dr. Wayne Breen, a 65-year-old obstetrician-gynecologist from Folsom, Louisiana, was found dead in his home on March 1, 2015 from two gunshot wounds to the chest. His wife, Kacie Breen, notified authorities and said she shot him in self-defense after an early-morning argument escalated into a physical altercation.

Their relationship had a documented history of domestic troubles, including a restraining order Kacie had filed against Wayne in 2012. The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office investigated and the District Attorney’s office presented the matter to a grand jury. In April 2016 the grand jury declined to indict Kacie Breen; the DA reported that evidence presented included a crime scene reconstruction expert who found no evidence contradicting her self-defense claim.
