A single shot fired Wednesday night during a couple’s heated argument left a husband dead and several children without a father.
Regina R. Copeland Roshell, 32, faces a charge of criminal homicide. She told Chattanooga Police homicide detectives she accidentally shot her husband, Demetrius D. Roshell, with a .357 Magnum revolver, according to an arrest report.
The couple was married in January and had an infant son.
They lived in a small, gray frame house at 3020 13th Ave. with a new porch at the back and a well-kept yard. Neighbors remember the family barbecuing in a grill at the front of the house. The couple held hands, neighbors said.
Demetrius Roshell would unload the grocery bags for his wife from the black Kia Optima she had marked with a Mary Kay cosmetics sticker advertising her position as a makeup consultant.
