Debbie Peak-Shell, 46, was shot dead during a domestic confrontation in Anderson, Indiana, in May 2015. According to reports, she returned home from work about 11 p.m. and began arguing with her 60-year-old live-in boyfriend of 18 years, James Brown. The argument escalated after Peak-Shell retrieved a shotgun from a bedroom closet; a physical struggle over the firearm ended when she sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the head.

Authorities described the relationship as tumultuous and initially treated the incident as domestic violence. At the time of early reporting, no criminal charges had been filed; the Madison County Prosecutor’s office said any decision would wait on the completed police investigation.
