Kia Jeffries shot and killed her husband of 14 years, professional boxer Ernest “M16” Mateen. R&B singer Jeffries, formerly of the group Oscar, but best known for singing the hook on Akinyele’s raunchy 90’s hit “Put It In Your Mouth” reportedly shot her husband in self defense after he caught her cheating at an Atlanta area hotel. The Georgia Daily News reports:
“Police outside Atlanta say they consider the shooting death of a former professional boxer to be a case of self-defense, and no charges have been filed.”
“Gwinnett County police Cpl. Jake Smith said homicide detectives that Earnest Mahir Abdul-Mateen used a handgun to repeatedly hit his wife Kia Yvette Jeffries early Tuesday morning.”
“Smith said Abdul-Mateen struck her so many times that he became exhausted, and at that point Jeffries managed to turn the gun on her husband and pull the trigger.”
“The shooting happened at an extended say hotel near Duluth. Smith said officers found Jeffries with injuries to her head and face. Abdul-Mateen was lying in a hallway, suffering from a gunshot wound.”
“Smith tells The Gwinnett Daily Post that detectives consider the case a self-defense shooting.”
