Roman Morales is accused of killing Sucoria Howard, also 34, after an argument broke out at the residence. Police Chief Michael Owens said the shooting occurred at around 7 p.m. on Thursday.
After the shooting, Morales left the home with his three children, leaving Howard's children inside the residence. He later turned himself in to authorities, according to Owens.
