The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office on Thursday charged Auroniece Jackson, 32, of Detroit with the fatal shooting of 32-year-old Toney Lynn-Antonio Mason, the father of her children.

Police found Mason dead on the lawn of a home on Greenlawn in Detroit about 7 p.m. April 22. He'd been shot in the chest.

"He was pronounced dead at the scene by medics," Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy's Office said in a statement Thursday. "It is alleged that Mason had a verbal argument with Auroniece Jackson prior to being shot.

"The defendant left in a car and came back to the Greenlawn location and shot and killed Mason."

Jackson is charged with first-degree murder and felony firearm.

She faces life in prison if convicted and is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday.
