A Michigan woman accused of shooting and killing her live-in boyfriend last week in Detroit has been charged with murder.

51-year-old Antoinette Denise Moore has been charged Monday in 36th District Court in Detroit with first-degree murder, tampering with evidence and using a firearm while committing a felony, the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office said.

A magistrate set her bond at $1 million and scheduled her next court appearance, a probable cause conference for July 11.

If convicted, she faces up to life in prison for the murder charge.

Authorities accuse Moore of fatally shooting 47-year-old Willie Grant Jr.. Investigators said the two were living together at the time of the incident.

Police said officers were called at about 8 p.m. Friday to the couple’s house in the 16020 block of Bringard near Eight Mile and Kelly in Detroit for a report of a shooting.

They found Grant lying face down on the home’s front lawn with a gunshot wound to the back. Medics transported him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators said they believe the two got into an argument that escalated and Moore allegedly produced a shotgun and fired at Grant. Detectives arrested Moore later the same day.
