A roommate in the home, however, told police a different version of events, including that neither person was running when they entered the home, but they were arguing.
The witness reported hearing several gunshots and the victim asking Deason if she was going to kill him, the news station reported. The witness then reportedly heard her say, "I hope you die … I hope you go to hell."
Deason is jailed on a $1 million bond on second-degree murder charges.
