A 23-year-old Moatsville woman has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of her husband.
Carli Renae Reed was jailed without bail after her initial appearance in Barbour County Magistrate Court.
Reed told law enforcement she shot Marcus Alva Fagons in the head during a verbal altercation, State Police Senior Trooper Austin Clark has alleged.
Reed said “she was upset with the victim because she believed he was talking to other girls. The defendant advised that the victim was lying on the bed when she picked up a Glock pistol that was on the nightstand beside the victim and proceeded to shoot the victim,” Clark has alleged.
She said she then left the residence and drove to her parents’ house before calling 911, according to Clark.
When the lawman arrived, Fagons “was lying on the bed in a bedroom .... bleeding profusely from the head and was unconscious,” Clark alleged.
EMS arrived and began treating the injury, but Fagons died a short time later, according to Clark.
During the 911 call, Reed “advised that she was the one that had shot the victim,” according to the criminal complaint.
The next step for Reed will be a preliminary cause hearing, where a magistrate will decide whether there’s probably cause to send the case to circuit court.
Reed won’t be eligible for bond on the first-degree murder charge until a circuit judge —either Judge Shawn D. Nines or Judge Alan D. Moats — has the case in his jurisdiction.
