&uot;During the course of the investigation, we learned the couple was separated, giving credence to possibility of the situation being domestic,&uot; said Detective Brenda Burnette of the Northampton County Sheriff’s Office.

She added that Lesane believed he was shot with what appeared to be an automatic handgun, though the weapon has not yet been retrieved.

The victim’s wife is charged with assault with a deadly weapon and intent to kill inflicting serious injury and had her first court appearance March 7.

Burnette also stated that while Davis-Lesane was incarcerated, she was served with another warrant from Nash County for threatening phone calls, adding another secured bond of $500.

A probable cause hearing is scheduled for March 14.
