Laura Jean Stineback, a 42-year-old nurse, was shot to death at her home on Flanders Street in Dowagiac, Michigan, on the night of Tuesday, May 12, 2015. The shooting followed an argument between Laura and her husband, Terry Stineback, that began in the basement and escalated upstairs. Their 9-year-old daughter was in the house and told police her father began choking her mother, then ordered the child upstairs before forcing Laura into the bedroom, locking the door, and shooting her multiple times in the back.

Terry Stineback called 911 at about 9:39 p.m. to report that he had shot his wife. Deputies from the Cass County Sheriff’s Office found Laura deceased in the bedroom; Terry was arrested at the scene without incident and the child was taken to a hospital and later released to family. He was arraigned on open murder, assault with intent to murder, and felony firearm possession charges and held without bond, with the prosecutor describing the killing as premeditated.

If anyone knew Laura or was in the Dowagiac area that night, please share what you know with investigators.
