After 38-year-old Donshay Hardy was shot in St. Paul, leading three children to flee from the residence, prosecutors charged her husband with murder. A warrant was out for Eddie Lee Webb’s arrest, but he died by suicide on Sunday and prosecutors dismissed the court case Tuesday. The criminal complaint against him was also unsealed. The complaint tells not only of the killing of Hardy, but about three children who were in the Battle Creek-area home with Hardy. One tried to intervene after seeing the 43-year-old with a gun, but Webb locked the child out of the room and then gunshots rang out. Another child later reported seeing “mom on the floor with blood all over,” according to the complaint. About seven hours before police received a 911 call about Hardy’s shooting, there had been another 911 call to the 2200 block of Hillsdale Avenue, in which a woman said she wanted her husband removed, the complaint said. Officers saw Hardy in an upstairs window with a child and knocked on the door for several minutes. When Hardy answered and police asked what was happening, she said, “It’s OK — he already left,” the complaint said. She wouldn’t identify herself or her husband. “Officers did not see any signs of injury on (Hardy) or other signs of a domestic assault, so they left the scene,” the complaint said.
