LEBANON, Tenn. (WTVF) — Lebanon police say a man turned himself in after he shot and killed his wife inside a Lebanon apartment complex this past weekend.
Catara Yarbrough lost her life at The Ridge Apartments Saturday.
Police say 42-year-old Steve Yarbrough shot her multiple times.
"During nighttime we would hear banging and arguing, but it's just a crazy situation that happened near us," said their neighbor Star Bain.
"All of her kids were sweet, I feel bad for the kids because I know they're very tore up about it," she added.
After a search for him and his vehicle, police say Yarbrough turned himself into the Lebanon Police department later that day.
"It's a tragedy that she's leaving some kids behind, and those kids didn't lose just one parent, but they lost two parents, unfortunately," said Zach Patton with Lebanon Police.
Friends say Catara got Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology from Lane College in Jackson Tennessee and was working to get a Tennessee insurance license.
As for why this happened, police have not let us know about a motive. Right now, it's still an active investigation.
