Robert Dale Crampton, 31, of Castle Hayne, North Carolina, was shot in the head and killed on November 2, 2015. The shooting followed a Pender County court appearance that same day in which Robert was awarded unsupervised visitation with the couple’s autistic 3-year-old son. Robert and his estranged wife, Jennifer Ann Crampton, had been separated since June 22, 2015, and Jennifer had previously alleged that Robert was abusive toward their child.

Hours after the court hearing, Jennifer shot Robert at his home on Castle Hayne Road. In a 911 call she admitted to shooting him and said she wasn’t gonna let him hurt the child anymore. Jennifer, 28 at the time, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Court filings and reporting stated the court found no evidence supporting her prior allegations of abuse.

Does anyone have additional information about the days leading up to the court hearing or the custody dispute?
