Report: Wife claims she shot, killed 50-year-old husband in argument in Zebulon Road home

13WMAZ obtained a copy of a report on Tuesday that details why Lateesha Riddle says she shot her husband.

MACON, Ga. — The wife of 50-year-old Eddie Riddle claims she shot and killed her husband in their Zebulon Road home Sunday during an argument. 

On Sunday, the Bibb County Sheriff's Office said deputies were questioning the wife and mother-in-law in the shooting of Eddie Riddle. 

13WMAZ obtained a copy of a report on Tuesday that details Lateesha Riddle's account of what happened before she shot and killed her husband.

 It describes a day of arguments that escalated to pushing and then shots.

Lateesha told deputies she and Eddie had been arguing throughout the day. When she was cooking in the kitchen, she says he knocked over a pot of collard greens she was cleaning and began yelling in her face. 

She claims he pushed her head with his finger when they were arguing. 

Lateesha said her mother got in between them and then Eddie pushed her mother out of the way. 

Then, Lateesha told deputies that Eddie went into their bedroom, and she says, "she knew what he was going back there to get." She told deputies she thought he was getting his gun and that he did that often when they argued.

From that point, the narrative is unclear. The report doesn't say that Eddie ever got his gun or say how Lateesha got a gun. 

But it says, at some point, Lateesha fired one or two shots at her husband. The report also doesn't say what Eddie was doing when she shot him or that Lateesha claimed self-defense.  

We asked the Sheriff's Office whether there were any previous calls to the home about domestic disputes. They said they would only be able to answer that through a records request. 13WMAZ is waiting for BSO to release that information.

No one has been charged or arrested.
