Orlando Man Accused Of Fatally Shooting Pregnant Wife

ORLANDO (CBSMiami/AP) – An Orlando man was arrested on a first-degree murder charge after shooting his wife—who was eight months pregnant with twins.

One of the twin boys survived the shooting. The mother, 23-year-old Alexis Boyce, and the other twin baby, however, did not survive, according to deputies.

When deputies arrived at the apartment Thursday evening, Michael Boyce, 33, told them Boyce had shot herself in the head. But after being confronted with more evidence, deputies say Boyce told them he accidently shot her. He was arrested on first-degree murder charges and taken to the Orange County Jail. No attorney was listed for him.

The twin boy that survived was taken Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies.

The woman's parents also lived in the apartment. Deputies say they were in their bedroom when the shooting occurred. The victim was found unresponsive in the living room.
