Pugh’s body was found in guest bedroom with gunshots to her eye and chest, police previously said. Her 2-yaer-old child was laying on top of her body crying and begging her to wake up.

Police determined that Pugh’s husband, Andre Pugh, also known as DJ Awesome at an Atlanta strip club, hired Harley to kill his wife.

Andre Pugh reportedly called 911 to say his wife had been murdered without having been inside the house to see her body, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
