Lee allegedly confessed to police. According to a report, around 3 a.m., Lee and Reese, who were in a relationship, fought at a house on Louisville Avenue.
The argument turned physical and Lee had to go to a hospital for treatment.
When she returned home, she contacted several friends through social media, telling them what happened and telling them to show up at her house.
Lee told police several males with guns followed her to the house on Bellevue where Reese was. When they knocked on the door, they got no answer, so one of the men kicked in the door.
Lee told police she then heard several gunshots.
