A woman from the US state of Mississippi has been arrested for allegedly shooting and killing a man during a video broadcast on Facebook Live.
Kadejah Michelle Brown, who is 28 years old, was arrested without incident by deputies on Saturday after police responded to a domestic violence call, according to a statement from the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office (LCSO).
The sheriff’s office said that deputies had responded to a domestic violence call at approximately 7:40am on Saturday, March 25.

Officers subsequently arrived on the scene at Green Tree Drive in Lowndes County, however, upon arrival they found a 28-year-old man dead from a single gunshot wound.
The victim, who is Ms Brown’s husband Jeremy Brown, was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities also recovered a 9mm handgun and other physical evidence from the scene.
Although the incident remains under investigation, officers believe that the couple may have been involved in an argument which turned physical, with the sheriff's office saying the incident was streamed on Facebook Live.
However, according to the Commercial Dispatch, only the audio part of the shooting went on Facebook.
"The phone had been thrown down, and then you heard the shot," Lowndes County Sheriff Eddie Hawkins told reporters.
“There was a history of domestic violence between Brown and the victim,” Sheriff Hawkins added.
“This was a tragic and senseless murder and our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the victim. Fortunately, Brown is in custody and we look forward to the criminal justice system holding her accountable.”
Brown was arrested and taken into custody at Lowndes County Adult Detention Center, where she is being held pending her initial appearance.
