A husband and wife were arrested Tuesday and charged in connection with a man's murder in the couple's Covington County home.

Deputies were called to the home of Angela and Robert "Keith" King on Tuesday in reference to a shooting. When they arrived, they found the victim had been shot at close range with a 12-gauge shotgun, Sheriff Darrell Perkins said in a phone interview Wednesday.

Medical personnel and the coroner were notified, and the victim, who was also an occupant of the home, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Perkins said Angela King, 55, told investigators that she and 41-year-old James Mack "Jamie" Sullivan were arguing when she shot him once with the shotgun.

Angela King told investigators Sullivan was angry because his clothes had been put outside and he came after her, Perkins said.

After the shooting, Keith King, 51, told deputies he called Sullivan's employer who was outside the home before calling authorities to report the shooting.

Angela King is being charged with murder. Keith King, who was convicted on a felony federal drug charge, is being charged because he is not supposed to be in the presence of a gun.

Both are being held at Covington County Jail in lieu of bond. Angela King's bond was set at $100,000 and Keith King's bond is $50,000.
