(The New York Post) - A 32-year-old mother of three fatally stabbed her husband with a kitchen knife<br />

<strong>after</strong> discovering a porn video in their Brooklyn, N.Y., apartment, police sources said Friday. Officers<br />

responded to a 911 call Thursday night in the Bushwick section of the New York City borough and found<br />

Rudolph Henry, 44, stabbed once in the chest in the family's third-floor pad, the sources said. The victim<br />

was rushed to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, authorities said. Cops<br />

took Henry's wife, Shellyann Henry, in for questioning, and she was later charged with second-degree<br />

murder and criminal possession of a weapon. A neighbor, Dawn Springs, 26, said the couple had just<br />

moved into the brick, three-story walk-up only a few months ago. The pair has a teenage daughter,<br />

toddler son and infant girl, she said.<br />

<strong>Woman</strong> accused of killing husband, then shooting herself in critical condition<br />

Sep 23, 2010 12:26 PM EDT<br />

WEST COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - The woman accused of killing her husband and trying to kill herself is in<br />

critical, but stable condition in a Charlotte-area hospital. Deputies say Shellie Lavette Davis shot her<br />

husband in the back of the head, drove to Charlotte and then shot herself. According to Lexington<br />

County Sheriff James R. Metts, deputies were called to 2700 Feather Run Trail near West Columbia<br />

around 2:00 Tuesday <strong>after</strong>noon at the request of Lexington County EMS. A friend found 37-year-old<br />

Jermaine Denard Davis unresponsive in his bedroom at an apartment the two were sharing and called<br />

911. Charlie Rice told deputies he went to Jermaine Davis' bedroom when he heard Davis' cell phone<br />

ringing repeatedly, Metts said. Upon arriving, deputies found Davis on the floor with blood coming from<br />

his head. Davis was pronounced dead at the scene. Deputies were not immediately able to determine<br />

the cause of Davis's injury.<br />

An autopsy Thursday revealed Davis died of a gunshot wound to the head. Davis's death was ruled a<br />

murder. According to investigators, Shellie Davis fatally shot her husband in the back of his head and<br />

drove to Charlotte where she met a female friend. Shellie Davis eventually drove to the home of a<br />

relative of the friend in Indian Trail, N.C. While she was outside the home, Shellie Davis apparently shot<br />

herself once in the head with a handgun, according to Metts. Shellie Davis was transported to Carolinas<br />

Medical Center at about 8:00pm Wednesday to receive medical treatment.<br />

Metts said Davis had been involved in a dispute with Jermaine Davis earlier that day. The nature and<br />

circumstances of the dispute remain under investigation. The motive for the fatal shooting also remains<br />

under investigation. Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for murder for Shellie Davis. Metts said<br />

deputies will take her into custody when she is released from the hospital. There is no word on her<br />

condition. Detectives are continuing to investigate whether the handgun that Shellie Davis used to shoot<br />

herself in the head was the same gun used to kill Jermaine Davis, Metts said.


The couple had five children together, according to Metts. The oldest is 14 years old. They lived<br />

together on Algrave Way in Richland County, but were estranged. Davis is a realtor with ERA Wilder in<br />

Columbia, and her online per profile puts emphasis on her husband and family. "My husband and I<br />

decided to relocate to Columbia for the purpose of providing our children with the southern comforts of<br />

living," she wrote. "We wanted them to remember riding their bikes through the neighborhood or park<br />

until the street lights come on and Sunday strolls to get ice cream just to name a few. That is what being<br />

here has given us and more."<br />

<strong>Woman</strong> charged with killing husband is lobbyist (Domestic Violence Lobbyist)<br />

ATLANTA NEWS 5:25 p.m. Wednesday, March 3, 2010<br />

A 45-year-old woman, charged with ending a domestic dispute by killing her 26-year-old husband of five<br />

days, is a registered lobbyist for a group fighting domestic violence.<br />

Arelisha Bridges was ordered held without bond in the Fulton County Jail. She is scheduled for a<br />

preliminary hearing later this month on charges of felony murder, murder, aggravated assault and<br />

possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.<br />

Officials said Bridges claimed she was unemployed. But records show she is a lobbyist for an<br />

organization called the National Declaration for Domestic Violence Order; its Web site says the group is<br />

pushing legislation to create a database of those convicted of sex crimes or domestic abuse.<br />

Usually an accused felon will appear at a preliminary hearing a day later, but Bridges' hearing was within<br />

hours of the shooting death of Anthony Rankins. Officials said the court appearance was moved up<br />

because of the unusual circumstances around the crime.<br />

Witnesses told police that Bridges was wearing a nightgown and a shower cap as she argued with<br />

Rankins on the sidewalk on North Avenue near West Peachtree Street around 10:45 p.m. Monday.<br />

And moments later, witnesses said, they heard shots. They said she then "calmly walked away."<br />

A MARTA police officer stopped her as she was getting into her car, perhaps to return to her home<br />

nearby on Centennial Olympic Park Drive.<br />

According to Atlanta police, Bridges told investigators that she and Rankins had been dating for a few<br />

months and were just married on Feb. 24.<br />

Bridges' group isn't among the prominent domestic violence lobbying groups in Georgia, said Kirsten<br />

Rambo, the executive director of the Georgia Commission on Family Violence.<br />

"This is the first I've heard about that organization," Rambo said. "I certainly couldn't say if they were<br />

legitimate or not," she said, adding, "It's certainly a new name to me."


Bridges has filed sparse lobbying expenses, according to State Ethics Commission records. So far this<br />

year, she's reported spending $20 -- for parking while lobbying for the abuse database.<br />
