On Easter Sunday, a Stone Mountain woman is accused of killing her boyfriend with a gunshot to the leg during an argument, according to newly released warrants.

Lagina Kimble was in a dispute with Corinth Covington over a cell phone and "other romantic relationships," the documents said. It’s said to have happened at their home on Wood Bend Drive, near North DeKalb Mall, around 7 a.m.

Police said Covington walked out of their apartment and the suspect followed him outside with a gun, shooting him.

Court records show Covington was convicted last year of battering Kimble in 2015.

Kimble, 27, is charged with murder. She remained jailed Thursday.
