Burlington, IA: Boyfriend dead at scene after shooting girlfriend

MACOMB — A Macomb woman has survived her gunshot wound in a shooting that killed a Macomb man in Burlington, Iowa.

According to a news release Thursday from Burlington, Jacqueline Williams, 28, has been released from University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City, where she was treated for a single gunshot wound to her head, according to a news release Thursday from Burlington Police Chief Daniel Luttenegger.

Terrell Miller, 22, was pronounced dead at the scene of the shooting, which occurred at about 10:02 p.m. at 165 S. Central St. in Burlington. Preliminary autopsy results by the State Medical Examiners Office indicate he had been shot several times in the head.

The preliminary investigation revealed Williams and Miller, who were "in a relationship," were having an argument while on the front porch of a Burlington residence, reportedly visiting friends.

Police said Miller had a handgun during the argument and shot Williams once in the forehead. They struggled, and Williams gained control of the handgun, allegedly shooting Miller in the head several times.

Police recovered a gun at the scene, and it was sent to a crime lab for analysis.

The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation is assisting the Burlington Police Department in the investigation.

Once all information, reports, examinations and results are collected, the case will be forwarded to the Des Moines County Attorney's Office to be reviewed for any criminal charges.

Lt. Dennis Kramer said Thursday that Williams has not been arrested.

"She's not in custody," said Kramer. "The county attorney will tell us what charges they want to go with once they review the case, or if there are any charges."
