Barely two weeks after buying his wife of 33 years a new Mercedes Benz car, an American man Eddie Harris has shot dead the woman and also attempted to commit suicide in front of their two grandchildren.
Harris had taken to Facebook six days after gifting his wife, Shanica Harris, the car to accuse her of cheating and said he wasted his money to buy the expensive car for “the wrong girl”.
Shanica had taken to Facebook on September 21 to thank her husband for buying her a new silver Mercedes Benz but complained about the color.
According to Daily Mail, Eddie Harris allegedly shot and killed his Shanica inside of their Liberty home on Saturday, September 28. The couple had been together since they were 15 and shared five children and multiple grandchildren.
Last week, Harris shared subliminal posts on social media about his wife possibly cheating on him. On the day of the murder, Eddie posted on Facebook that Shanica brought one of her boyfriends to their home.

The two grandchildren, aged 6 and 9, who witnessed their grandmother’s death, were escorted out of the home by Special Response Team members. The children were unharmed. Upon entering the home, investigators found Shanica’s body and Eddie suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after his standoff with police.
Eddie was transported to the Jackson Memorial Hospital Ryder Trauma Center for treatment. His condition is currently unclear.
