Travis Williams

A man was charged with First Degree Murder today for shooting his wife to death last night at their southeast Shelby County home.  After the murder, Sheriff’s detectives say Travis Williams, 48, walked next door and told his neighbors what happened.

Williams surrendered to Deputies as they arrived at the couple’s home at 4315 Whispering Bend Cove North just after 10 o’clock.

Deputies found Williams’ wife, Alberta, 50, dead inside the house.  She had been shot in the neck as she lay in bed.

Sheriff's detectives say the couple was having marital problems.  Investigators believe the relationship issues led to the murder.

No other people were inside the house. 

This is the fourth homicide investigated by Deputies during 2008.  In 2007, there were six homicides in neighborhoods patrolled by the Sheriff’s Office.
