A domestic dispute on the night of January 22, 2019 in rural northern Wayne County, Tennessee ended with the death of 48-year-old James John Donahue. Deputies responded to a call shortly before 10 p.m. at Donahue’s residence on Suckstem Branch Road in Waynesboro and found him deceased from a single gunshot wound.

Investigators identified Donahue’s wife, Elise Renee Mosca, as the person who fired the fatal shot during the course of the incident. Mosca was taken into custody, charged with second-degree murder, and held without bond. She later pleaded guilty to the lesser offense of voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 10 years in prison for Donahue’s death.

Are there any details about the couple’s timeline or the night of the shooting that someone in the area can help clarify?
