An Indiana man is accused of shooting his girlfriend and the mother of his child to death with a sawed-off shotgun after an argument at their home.
Charles Franklin, 26, faces several charges, including murder, domestic battery committed in the presence of a child less than 16 years old, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, court records show. He is being held in the Lake County Jail.
On Monday, at a home on the 2400 block of Pennsylvania Street, Franklin was home with his girlfriend, 26-year-old Arrianna Miles. Their 11-month-old son was also there, per a probable cause affidavit reviewed by the Post-Tribune.
The couple was arguing, and Miles was allegedly discussing kicking him out of the home, bringing up disputes from the past, such as that he cheated on her. According to Franklin, Miles grabbed a sawed-off shotgun from a closet, and the two began physically fighting. Then the gun fired.
