TEMPE, Ariz. — Tempe police responded to a domestic violence incident Friday afternoon where they say a woman shot her boyfriend at a home near Guadalupe and Rural roads.

Police said a domestic violence incident became physical, and the woman, 38-year-old Lora Flores, shot her boyfriend, then left the scene to call 911. 

The man was located inside the residence with a gunshot wound, according to the Tempe Police Department. He was transported to a hospital for life-threatening injuries where he later died. He has been identified as 40-year-old Korey Wilson.
