According to police, the two were involved in an ongoing dispute over Milford’s dogs’ behavior, and on Friday, the dogs had a run-in with Allen’s pooch.
That feud escalated to a physical confrontation about 8:15 a.m., when Milford was shot in the chest, Campbell said. She died at the scene.
DeKalb police charged Allen with murder Friday afternoon. She is being held in the DeKalb County jail.
An acquaintance of the victim was present during the confrontation and was also interviewed by DeKalb police, Campbell said.
