MACON, Ga. (AP) — Authorities say a Georgia woman and her son have been charged with murder in the shooting death of her boyfriend.

The Macon Telegraph reports 42-year-old Annie Pearl Jones and 22-year-old Sellers Cardell Bell Jr. were arrested Tuesday. A statement by the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office says 45-year-old Larry Antonio Harden was found early Tuesday with gunshot wounds.

The agency said in a later statement that Harden was shot following an altercation involving the three. Harden was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Bibb County Coroner Leon James says Harden’s killing was the 18th homicide in the county so far this year.

Bell also is charged with possession of a gun by a convicted felon and violation of probation.

The newspaper didn’t report whether the two have a lawyer.
