Police in Mobile, Alabama arrested a 27-year-old woman who allegedly gunned down her ex-husband and then dropped his body off at a hospital.

Hospital staff called 911 about a deceased Black man who had been dropped off at around 1 a.m. by a Black woman with braided hair with red tips, driving in a silver Lexus SUV.

The woman was later identified as Genesis Tanksley, the ex-wife of Lazarus Tanksley.
