Investigators said they reviewed the video the two women made, which showed them “laughing, dancing and lip-synching” to a song before the violence transpired, the affidavit states. In the video, police noted that Lee’s body fell out of the frame of the camera and smoke was “hanging in the room” before the video was shut off.

The witness allegedly told police that Lee and Thompson had “a toxic relationship” and were  “always at odds” with each other, the affidavit states. She also claimed that Lee once told her that if she was ever found dead it would be “Joshua [that] killed her."

Floyd County Prosecutor Chris Lane toldWHAS11, “We take domestic violence allegations seriously. And we’re taking them seriously in this case.” He added, “Unfortunately this is not unusual for these allegations and circumstances, relationships can lead to tragic results and unfortunately the allegations are that’s what happened."
