Gregory Coffey, 41, who has had a history of violence against his wife, allegedly killed his estranged wife, 32 year old Towanda Lashawa Chambers Coffey. He forced her into a car, shot her in the back of the head, all the while driving the car towds, then into a shopping mall not far from the Waxhaw police department. Gregory was served a restraining order in June ordering him to stay away from his wife. The order replaced a dropped charge of misdemeanor assault on a female.
The incident began around 6 p.m. Tuesday, when police say Gregory Coffey approached his 32-year-old wife in a convenience store parking lot near downtown Waxhaw. Witnesses told police the man forced the woman into the car, then got in the back seat and pointed a gun at the back of her head.
The two drove off, but minutes later the car struck a brick wall outside the Captain's Galley restaurant on N.C. 75, in the same shopping center as the Waxhaw Police Department.
When police arrived, they found the woman dead from a gunshot wound, and the man on the ground outside, with cuts and bruises. Witnesses said the man shouted several times, “It was an accident.”
Police did not disclose a possible motive.
The victim was married to her husband for 3 years and had a criminal history, both misdemeanor and felony convictions, dating back to 1992. Her history included financial card theft and assault with a deadly weapon.
