MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A woman was shot and killed outside a daycare in Memphis Tuesday morning.
Three hours later, her husband shot and killed himself outside his home.
The couple, who were going through a divorce, have been identified as Tasha and Charles Thomas and have a history of domestic violence.
August 23, police were called to a church where Tasha Thomas said her husband showed up and was coming at her saying he would, ‘deal with her,’ and threatening her.
At that time he was already wanted for domestic assault against his wife.
Emergency crews were called to University of Little Scholars on East Raines Road where the woman was employed.
Thomas was shot around 8:20 a.m. in the parking lot.
Police say Charles was the shooter and had a history of domestic violence.
After barricading himself in his home for about three hours, he took his life.
The couple were married in 2007 and have one child together.
Tasha filed for divorce in August citing irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct.
The judge ordered Charles to stay away because Tasha said her life had been threatened and her husband had a history of violence.
In 2009, Tasha said her husband attacked her and choked her to the point she could not breath.
If you, or someone you know, are a victim of domestic violence there is help available in Memphis.
