State troopers have arrested a Clay County man accused of shooting his girlfriend during a domestic dispute. It all happened just after midnight Saturday morning on Skull Branch Road.
When troopers arrived, they determined that 52-year-old Samuel Cornett shot his girlfriend, 35-year-old Alisha Tye. The couple is from Manchester.
Investigators say that during the dispute, Tye ran to a neighbor’s home to get away from her boyfriend. Cornett allegedly went to that neighboring home and forced his way inside, eventually shooting Tye multiple times.
