DENHAM SPRINGS - A woman shot in the neck while wrestling over a gun with a man died from her injuries, the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office said.

Jasmine Newhouse, 18, was shot by Dexter Boutte, 35, on Jan. 31 while the couple was arguing at a Magnolia Beach Road apartment complex, deputies said. They were wrestling over a gun when the firearm discharged, hitting Newhouse in the neck.

Newhouse's family told WBRZ the two were in a relationship for about five months and there were "numerous domestic violence calls made to the sheriff's department."

Boutte was initially booked on attempted manslaughter and domestic abuse battery; officials say those charges will be upgraded following Newhouse's death.
