A Georgia man told a 911 operator that he “lost it” after getting into an argument with his wife and daughter before killing them outside the family home.
Ralph Mincey, 63, was arrested on murder charges in connection with the deaths of his 57-year-old wife Jennifer Lynn Mincey and 37-year-old daughter Amanda Mincey McBrayer, according to the Walton County Sheriff’s Office.
According to 911 recordings obtained by reporters, the white on white criminal called dispatch after the Wednesday, June 24 shooting outside the home on Gauntt Road in Oxford.
“My wife had told my daughter that I didn’t take care of my mother and stuff and my daughter came over, her husband brought her over and all of a sudden it was like I’m not taking care of my mom, which I do every day, and I just shot my daughter and my wife of 38 years,” he said.
When the operator asked if they were still breathing, Mincey responded: “No, it don’t look like it. It was nine-millimeter right straight to the head.”
Mincey, who was crying during the exchange, told the dispatcher, “I just couldn’t handle no more of the fucking lying and the way they were screaming at me. I just, I lost it. I’m so sorry. Thirty-eight years, I love her.”
“We were gonna retire with over a million dollars,” he said.
McBrayer’s husband, who also called 911, told dispatchers that he witnessed the shooting.
“He shot my wife in the head point blank,” he said. “I literally ran away because I have two kids I’ve got to protect, and I’m scared to go back up there,” he said.
He told dispatchers that he brought his wife to her parents’ home.
“My wife was drunk,” he said. “She was upset. She wanted me to bring her home. So, I brought her to her parents’ house and then she got into it with her dad and her dad said, ‘I’ve got a gun. I’ve got a gun. I’m gonna pull the fucking trigger.’ And he shot her in the head. And then he grabbed his wife by the throat, threw her down and threatened to kill her too. And he said, ‘I don’t give a shit. I know I’m going to jail anyway.’”
According to the sheriff’s office, McBrayer was pronounced deceased at the scene. Mincey’s wife was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where she later died from her injuries.
“We are saddened by this senseless loss of life,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
