A convicted felon barred from having contact with his newlywed wife in a domestic violence case is accused of fatally shooting her as she tried to flee through a window of their Michigan home a day after she filed for divorce.

Marcus Lofton, 42, faces an open murder charge and firearm violations in the death of Alicia Lofton, 38. Marcus Lofton, whose convictions for firearms and drugs date to 2000, was held Tuesday at the Kent County Jail without bail.

He was set to appear in court again on Sept. 5, MLive reported.

An affidavit obtained by FOX17 outlines the allegations and his alleged statements to police in which he allegedly admits shooting her after an argument.
