A woman has been charged in the shooting death of her husband at the couple’s east Birmingham home earlier this week.

La’sha Patrice Thomas, 38, is charged with murder in the slaying of 38-year-old Andre Derrel Perry. The deadly shooting happened with their young teen in the home at the time, but he reportedly did not witness the shooting.

Birmingham’s East Precinct officers were dispatched shortly after 10 p.m. Tuesday to a reported domestic disturbance in the 1500 block of Cedargate Circle. That is near the Spring Lake area.

Sgt. LaQuitta Wade said while officers were en route, they received another call reporting someone had been shot.

Police entered the home and found Perry unresponsive on the floor. He was pronounced dead at 10:24 p.m. by Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service.

Wade said the couple who lived at the home got into a verbal argument which led to the fatal shots being fired.

Thomas remained on the scene and was taken into custody for questioning by detectives. She remained held until the warrant against her was obtained.

She was booked into the Jefferson County Jail at 2:15 p.m. Thursday and is being held without bond.

Perry in October wished Thomas a happy anniversary in a Facebook post, writing at that time that they had been together 15 years and married for eight of those.

“It’s been a bumpy, smooth, rough, high, low, happy, sad, … road,’’ he wrote, “but we live to love each other another day.”
