CLEVELAND, Tenn. – A woman is charged with murder after allegedly shooting her boyfriend to death Sunday night and then texting several people about it, authorities said.
Alina Sherlin, 43, was charged with first-degree murder when police found Robert D. Julian, 45, dead with an apparent gunshot wound in his chest at her home at 1908 Greenwood Ave., said Evie West, the Cleveland Police Department’s public information officer.
“Last night, a little bit before 10 p.m., several friends of Ms. Alina Sherlin received texts from her [stating] that she had shot her boyfriend and killed her boyfriend,” West said Monday.
Police officers made a welfare check on the residence in response to a 911 call by one of the recipients of a text. When Sherlin would not let officers enter, they went to the rear of the home and through a window saw the body of a white male on the floor with a rifle nearby, according to police.
