Man shoots his new bride dead, places body in car with her 4 young kids (photos)
According to the police, Angela Juanette
Bishop was allegedly shot dead by his
42-year-old husband, James Leon Beard,
who was arrested at the scene shortly
after the incident.
The police reportedly found Bishop's
body placed in the passenger seat of her
Toyota Camry and with her four
children, aged between eight and 13,
sitting in the backseat.
"The victim's body was placed in the
passenger seat of her car after being
shot. Her four children were in the car
and gave the same account of events,"
Beard's arrest warrant notes.
The authorities believe Beard shot
Bishop twice in the chest in the
doorway of his Panthersville
apartment.They also think the shooting
was intentional after finding a 40-
calibre that Beard allegedly used to kill
his wife Bishop in the nearby woods.
However, the police are still yet to
ascertain the reason as to why Beard
placed Bishop's body inside the car
together with her children after killing
her.
Beard, in his defence, reportedly told
the authorities that the shooting was an
accident. In his account of events, he
claimed that he heard a knock at his
door and couldn't figure out who was
there through the peephole.And that
when he answered the door, his gun
'went off' and struck Bishop twice in the
chest.
He is currently facing felony murder
charges in DeKalb County.
