MINOT, N.D. (AP) - Trial is underway for a Minot woman accused of killing a man a year ago.
Thirty-nine-year-old Kommika Gregory is accused of shooting to death 58-year-old Ronald Thompson on Nov. 16, 2017, at a Minot residence. She faces a murder charge that could land her in prison for life without parole if she’s convicted.
Police have said Thompson tried to intervene in a dispute between Gregory and her ex-boyfriend. Prosecutors allege Gregory shot Thompson three times.
Gregory’s attorney maintains she acted in self-defense.
Prosecutors say Gregory’s ex-boyfriend died over the summer. He was the only other witness in the case but made statements to police earlier.
The trial is scheduled to run through the rest of the week.
