Angela Godley, 53, was found shot to death in her Shreve Island home in Shreveport, Louisiana, on September 10, 2014. Godley owned The Noble Savage Tavern, a well-known downtown business, and lived with Mark Edward Colby, who was both her romantic partner and a business partner.

Investigators say Godley and Colby were seen together at the tavern in the early morning hours the day her body was discovered. Police allege their relationship had been troubled and that Godley intended to end the personal relationship and have Colby move out. Colby fled after the killing but was located in a hotel in Mexico a few days later and taken into custody. He was charged with second-degree murder.

The case went to trial, where prosecution evidence included prior domestic disputes and threats; the defense argued self-defense. A Caddo Parish jury found Mark Colby guilty of second-degree murder in March 2017 and he was sentenced to life without parole. Did anyone who knew Angela or the tavern notice signs of the relationship’s deterioration before September 2014?
