The woman said Corniel told her his brother would kill her if anything happened to him, and she responded by striking him and telling him to “watch his mouth,” police said. She alleged that he continued to hit her and she picked up her gun, which was reportedly on the bed, and shot him, police said. According to police reports, the woman said that, as Corniel began leaving the apartment, she told him, “You will regret putting your hands on me. This is the last time you put your hands on me."
