Over the course of the call, Sinclair proceeded to answer the dispatcher’s questions. “I shot her in the head,” he said, when asked where he shot her.

“Why did you do this?” the woman asked.

“We got into an argument and she came at me with a knife,” he said, adding that he shot her in order to “defend” himself. Sinclair said that the couple “fought often.”

Sinclair and his wife, Latwassa Argrett, had been arguing, according to police. Sinclair said the couple began arguing at 6:30 on Sunday morning. At some point, Sinclair said, Argrett got a knife and chased her husband around the house. After she went into the bedroom and shut the door, Sinclair retrieved a gun.

“A short time later, Sinclair went to the bedroom with the gun and confronted Argrett,” police said in a statement. “Sinclair told police that he and Argrett exchanged words just prior to Argrett lunging at him with the knife. Sinclair said that he shot at Argrett but thinks the bullet just grazed her as she fell to the floor.

“Sinclair said that Argrett got up off of the floor and came at his direction again, this time Sinclair shot Argrett in the head.”

However, police added, detectives noticed that Argrett was shot in the back of the head, not the front. After asking about it, “Sinclair finally admitted that he wanted to kill Argrett,” the police statement said.
