Homicide Unit detectives are investigating a domestic-related self-defense claim after Carlos Washington, 47, was fatally shot at a storage unit on Monroe Street Tuesday night. A 48-year-old female was taken into custody following the shooting.
The woman claimed Washington put her in a chokehold during an argument in their car. The woman retrieved her firearm and shot Washington once before getting out of the vehicle.
The investigative findings will be presented to the District Attorney’s Office.
