Stineback was found dead inside a house in the 24000 block of Flanders Street Tuesday night after someone called 911 in reference to a shooting inside the home. Police believe an argument between Stineback and her husband escalated “to the use of deadly force by the husband,” according to the news release.
The couple’s 9-year-old child was checked out at an area hospital and then placed with family friends.
