The shooting happened around 8:35 p.m. on Thursday. Authorities found Whitlock unresponsive with gunshot wounds at her home. She died at the scene.
Authorities say Whitlock was found dead at the scene with gunshot wounds. Her two children, aged around six and four, and her boyfriend were at the home during the incident.
Foreman, who is the father of the children, arrived at the townhome during a birthday party for one of the children. An argument reportedly took place in the doorway, leading Foreman to fire multiple shots.
Initial reports indicate that there were previous disturbances at the residence related to child custody issues. However, the exact reason for the argument on the day of the shooting is still under investigation.
He left the scene in a white Chevrolet Tahoe. No one else was harmed.
