A woman is dead and a 76-year-old man is in custody following a domestic disturbance that turned deadly.

Deputies were dispatched to 433 County Road 371 in Lafayette County for a report of a domestic disturbance and gun shots fired at a home in the county around 1:30 p.m. on Friday and found a woman had been shot to death. The victim’s name is not being released at this time by the Lafayette County Sheriff’s Department.
