The victim’s wife, Cynthia Carroll, witnessed the shooting, ran to another part of the family’s sprawling home and heard additional gunfire, court documents obtained by WUSA show.

Investigators said after the deadly shooting, Alicia Carrol fled the scene and deputies arrested her a short distance away. She was unarmed at the time but weapons were recovered inside the home.

One neighbor of the victim said he was a “really good man” who was funny, kind, and sweet.
