Richard Eric Kelley, 35, died on September 10, 2018, in Cleveland, Ohio, after being shot multiple times during a domestic incident at the couple’s home on Alhambra Avenue. Court records and police reports state his partner, Arriel Bryant, shot him; Bryant subsequently left with their two children, aged 4 and 8, prompting an Amber Alert before the children were located unharmed and Bryant was arrested by U.S. Marshals.

Records say Kelley had been criminally charged with domestic violence against Bryant on three separate occasions before his death, and the relationship continued despite ongoing conflict. Bryant was charged with aggravated murder; her defense has argued she was a victim of repeated domestic abuse, a factor raised during the proceedings.

What details about the relationship or the nights leading up to September 10 might help explain how the situation escalated?
