Latreea Polk was found dead inside her home in the Carriage Park Apartments on Chatham Park Drive shortly before 10 p.m. The body was discovered by family members who said they went looking for her because she didn'
show up for work.
"It's devastating," said Polk's mother, Patricia. "It's a nightmare. It's like I'm still living in a dream, because I just talked to her. We jus
t came off vacation."
About an hour later, Polk's 31-year-old husband, David Wise, was found outside New C
ovenant Christian Fellowship Church in Swissvale, where his mother was attending a Bible study. Police said he was inside his wife's car, suffering from a gunshot wound.
Wise was taken to UPMC Presbyterian and pronounced dead at 11:16 p.m.
Update: Late Friday afternoon, the Allegheny County Coroner's Office ruled Polk's death a homicide and Wise's death a suicide.
Patricia Polk said Wise often beat her daughter and ignored a protection from abuse order that the woman had obtained. Court documents show the PFA was in effect through September 2005.
Wise had been arrested at his wife's apartment earlier this week and released from jail the nex
t day, according to Patricia Polk.
"Something should have been done, or this would have never happened," Patricia Polk said. "It would have never happened."
Update:
Cou
nty police confirm that Wise violated his PFA this week, and on a previous occasion in April, while he was on federal probation for bank fraud.
Wise pleaded guilty to a les
ser charge in the April incident, which violated the terms of his probation that required him not to commit a crime. Still, Wise was allowed to remain free, and his probation ended as scheduled last week, according to Channel 4 Action News reporter Jim Parsons.

What is shocking about this crime is that these two primates were actually married. Probably 98% of coon couples shack up and produce niglets by the bushel basket. These two actually were married. Anyway, of course TNB was just a
matter of time. Gman
The happy couple before
TNB came
aknocking!!
