A woman from Wisconsin reportedly grew weary of her husband’s constant belittling, which led her to fatally shoot him last week during a heated exchange. She allegedly told officers, “He called me a b— for the last time,” as reported by prosecutors.

Doris Winters, 61, of Milwaukee, allegedly confessed to detectives that she shot her husband, Aerion Winters, 49, on May 31. “I’m exhausted,” Winters stated, as detailed in her criminal complaint filed on Wednesday in Milwaukee County. “I know it was wrong to shoot him, but I’m just worn out.”

Winters, who lives on Milwaukee’s north side, is facing first-degree reckless homicide and use of a dangerous weapon charges for the Saturday night incident.

Cops responded to her apartment complex at 95th Street and Brown Deer Road shortly after 10 p.m. and found Winters outside the residence, with witnesses and neighbors pointing her out to police, the complaint says.

“Upon arrival, citizens who were outside the apartments pointed to a woman who was walking away,” the complaint alleges. “The citizens said she was the shooter. The officers saw the woman drop a handgun. They stopped her, took her into custody, and secured the gun she had dropped.”

Winters, while being transported to the police station, told officers, “He called me a b— for the last time and I just shot him.” She allegedly confessed to killing her husband while the two of them were arguing inside Winters’ apartment. A witness who was with them said Aerion Winters had been staying at a separate residence and the witness drove him over to Winters’ place so they could retrieve some belongings.

Once they arrived, the defendant and victim “began arguing,” and the witness tried standing between them to de-escalate the situation, according to prosecutors.

“The defendant picked up a handgun from near a table in the living room, racked the slide, and commented that it was loaded,” the complaint says. “The victim walked upstairs and spoke briefly to the defendant’s mother, then came back downstairs. The defendant told him not to talk to her mother, and the victim responded by calling the defendant a ‘b—.’ That angered the defendant.”
