CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — According to Corpus Christi Police, a man was shot and killed on the 700 block of Lansdown in the neighborhood behind Windsor Park Elementary.
A 30-year-old woman was arrested Thursday morning after the deadly shooting on the 700 block of Lansdown near Harry Street.
Corpus Christi police said the woman, identified as Ashley Orr, called them at 3:05 a.m., and when officers arrived at the home at 709 Lansdown Drive, they found 24-year-old Brendan Shay Graham with a single gunshot wound to the torso. Investigators said he was taken to the hospital, where he died.
In a police report, it states a police officer was dispatched "to Lansdown Dr in reference to a shooting. Dispatch advised the reporting party shot her husband in the chest, and he was not breathing."
A neighbor, who did not want to be on camera, said he woke up early in the morning to the sound of a man and a woman arguing in the house. It is unknown what the relationship between the two was, but the neighbor said he could often hear them arguing.
Police said there was some kind of disturbance before the trigger was pulled, but they are still investigating what it was about and the circumstances of the shooting. This is an ongoing investigation.
Officers said if anyone feels unsafe in their home, there is help. "We strongly advise, call us," Officer Brandon Garcia with the CCPD public information office said. "We can get there and help take care of the situation. Get resources. We have plenty of resources for our victims out here. We always encourage our victims to reach out to us before it escalates to anything of this type of violence. It shouldn't get to this."
CCPD has a family violence unit and victim assistance services.
30-year-old Ashlyn Orr was arrested and booked in the city detention center. Orr will be charged with murder.
