Illinois Woman Fatally Shoots Boyfriend, Video Calls The ‘Other Woman’

A Naperville woman is facing decades in jail.

40-year-old Rosa Lagrone has now been sentenced to 38 years in jail after she shot and killed her boyfriend in 2020.

On November 6th, 2020, she and her fiance, 27-year-old Darnell Manns, were having an argument on Keswick Lane in unincorporated Naperville, around 2:15 p.m.

The argument was about Manns dating another woman. She shot him, the bullet going through his torso and "lodging in his spine".

After she shot him, she used Facebook to live video chat with the other woman he had allegedly been dating. In the background was Manns on the floor in a pool of blood.

Manns passed away 3 days after the shooting.

Lagrone was ultimately sentenced on a charge of First Degree Murder. She was sentenced to 38 years behind bars after being convicted in February.

In a release from officials, DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin said:

Domestic violence continues to be a plague on society with the worst cases carrying permanent, heart-breaking consequences, as we saw in the murder of Darnell Manns. Judge Guerin’s thirty-eight-year sentence sends a strong message that in DuPage County we will not tolerate this type of violent behavior. No number of years however, will bring Darnell back to those who loved him and those he loved. Their grief will far outlast Ms. Lagrone’s sentence, and I wish them strength as they navigate their lives without the love, comfort and support once provided by Darnell. I thank Assistant State’s Attorneys Amanda Meindl, Rob Willis and Kelly McKay for their efforts in holding Ms. Lagrone accountable for the tragic murder of Darnell Manns.

She will be required to serve 100% of her sentence before being eligible for parole.
