A 29-year-old woman accused of murdering the father of her young children in front of them after a domestic dispute should be put to death, according to prosecutors in Alabama.

Birmingham resident Chelsie Jones was charged with capital murder in March 2021 after local police said she shot and killed her 22-year-old longtime boyfriend, Montrell Fredrickgus Holloway, inside of her home. A grand jury indicted her that September.

The couple’s young children were present during the slaying, prompting the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office to pursue the capital charge.
