JoAnn Hawkins, 59, of Cincinnati, Ohio, died on April 25, 2016. Her obituary described her as a mother, grandmother and sister who left a large family and many friends.

Her husband, Jeffrey Hawkins, a former police officer and private security consultant, called 911 and confessed to shooting JoAnn multiple times in their Colerain Township home, saying the two had been arguing about money. Family members, including her son Bo Hart, said they had concerns about mental abuse in the marriage and feared Jeffrey’s behavior.

Jeffrey Hawkins was convicted and later sentenced to 20 years in prison for involuntary manslaughter and felonious assault; the court determined he was not eligible for an insanity plea. Does anyone have information about JoAnn’s life, the relationship, or events leading up to April 25, 2016?
