A Green Cove Springs man who initially reported a home invasion now is in custody in the death of his 25-year-old girlfriend.
The two had gotten into a fight late Thursday into Friday morning in their Arthur More Drive garage apartment in the Lake Asbury neighborhood, according to the Clay County Sheriff's Office.
After the argument became physical, Keisha Danielle Short was killed, the Sheriff's Office said. Kyle Ray Helms, 22, then went to a neighbor's house to have 911 called about a home invasion. Helms, who had apparent injuries to his right hand and his left eye was bruised, later changed his story and was charged with second-degree murder.
The couple had lived there about six months with no record or past incidents, the Sheriff's Office said. However, they were arrested last May in Hickory, N.C., on attempted breaking and entering charges.
A compilation of daily news articles from around the United States about deaths (including both people and animals) that appear to occur in the context of a past or present intimate relationship, focusing on 2009-present. (NOTE: this blog is limited to incidents that appear in the media and are captured by our search terms. We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
