A father shot his 38-year-old daughter six times, including twice in the head over a petty argument over a baby gate on June 10.
Wilson, 68 was charged with first-degree murder by the King County Prosecuting Attorneys. He waived his Miranda rights and admitted to killing his daughter.
“I went and got my gun and I shot her,” Wilson told investigators, according to Q13 Fox.
Before shooting Lila, Wilson called his ex-wife and Lila’s adoptive mother and told her that he was going to kill Lila. A few minutes later when she called him, he said, “I shot her, I killed her.”

Domestic Violence
Psychology Today says that domestic violence is bad both for the “battered and the batterer” and that it is impo0rtant to combat abusive behavior.“Domestic violence can be physical or psychological, and it can affect anyone of any age, gender, race, or sexual orientation. It may include behaviors meant to scare, physically harm, or control a partner,” said a post on Psychology Today, adding that 38 million American women are victims of domestic violence.
Such a kind of violence has a long-lasting impact on the victims who suffer from anxiety, depression and lack of self-worth.
