According to the arrest report, 36-year-old Michael Leroy Patterson and his unidentified wife were arguing in their bedroom before he shot her.
Around 6:40 p.m., their 9-year-old son then came home to ask his parents for permission to go swimming with his friends. That's when he found his mom, and he ran out of the bathroom crying and told his sister that their mom was lying in the bathroom with blood. Officers went to the apartment at 870 S. 1050 West and found the 35-year-old woman dead in the bathroom with a gunshot wound to her head.
Patterson told police he had discarded his wife's broken cellphone, a gun and a magazine near where he parked his car. Officers went to the area and found the items, which they said appeared to be hidden, along with a spent shell casing. There were no bullet casings at the scene of the shooting.
