Wife faces murder charge in killing of ex-Florida politician
(AP) — Detectives are investigating the killing of a former Miami-Dade County commissioner during what police describe as a domestic dispute at a home in south Georgia.
Paramedics and firefighters forced open the door to a locked room and found James "Jimmy" C. Burke, 68, with gunshot wounds, Waycross Police Chief Tony Tanner said.
Arriving police officers found the wife sitting on a couch and she directed them to the locked room, Tanner told The Florida Times-Union (bit.ly/1T6AaZo).
