Woman Shot and Killed At Auburn Grocery Store

AUBURN, GA — A 51-year-old woman was shot and killed in the parking lot of an Auburn grocery store in what authorities are calling a domestic dispute.

At about 5 p.m. Friday, a 911 caller reported an altercation happening outside the Ingles store at 1502 Atlanta Highway.

Auburn Police arrived to find Dorothy Russell, 51, of Statham in her vehicle suffering from a gunshot wound.

She died at the scene, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. An autopsy will be performed at the GBI Crime Lab in Decatur.

A suspect, later identified as Russell's husband — 50-year-old Darrin Russell — was seen leaving the area. He was arrested without incident about an hour later by Barrow County Sheriff's office deputies.

Darrin Russel has been charged with one count of murder and is being held in the Barrow County Jail.

The Winder Police Department and Statham Police Department also assisted with the investigation.
