A woman has been arrested for allegedly murdering her husband live on Facebook while streaming to her friends and family.
Suspect Kadejah Michelle Brown, 28, was taken into custody after she allegedly shot her husband Jeremy Roc Brown at their home in Lowndes County, Mississippi, US, on the morning of Saturday March 25.
The authorities said Brown live-streamed the moment she killed the 28-year-old victim, who died from a single gunshot wound.
It appeared that Brown and her husband were involved in an argument that turned physical, police said.
The woman apparently confronted the victim as he tried to leave the home - all the while streaming the argument to friends and family on Facebook.

Athough Livestreaming was meant to add a new way for people to connect online, it has been used as a way to share shocking incidents or violence and harm.
In September 2022 thre people were killed and four wounded after a teenage gunman went on a shooting spree in Memphis, Tennessee, and posted footage of one of his attacks on Facebook.
Ezekiel Kelly, just 19 at the time, was arrested and later indicted on 28 charges.
In a recording of the Facebook livestream, Kelly could be seen getting out of a car and walking a few steps into the store before allegedly firing a gun twice at a man inside the shop.
