Natalie Romine, 41, of Louisburg, North Carolina, was killed on March 28, 2009. She was found in the front yard of her home with an apparent gunshot wound to the chest and was taken to Franklin Regional Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead. The shooting followed a heated argument between Natalie and her husband, James Fredrick Romine, 48, during which one or both had been drinking. As Natalie prepared to drive away, James allegedly threatened her with a shotgun and, during a struggle, the gun discharged and fatally wounded her. A 30-30 rifle recovered from the couple’s home was identified as the weapon used.

James Fredrick Romine was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and was held in the Franklin County Jail without bond. Natalie was survived by her husband, their daughters Jessica, Brittany, and Melissa Romine, and a grandson, Jerrod Romine. The killing shocked the Louisburg community and prompted an outpouring of support for the family.
