According to the affidavit, a woman said on Thursday, Feb. 6, she was watching her girlfriend’s Facebook Live which showed the home of her girlfriend, who police identified as King-Roberson. The woman said she saw three dead bodies in the home on Facebook Live.
She then called 911 and shared this information with police, asking them to check on the welfare of King-Roberson, as well as King-Roberson’s children.

As we reported last week, police say after the call came in, officers were sent to the home in the 3000 block of Welcome Road. Officers made contact with King-Roberson, who police say was armed.
The affidavit says King-Roberson refused to leave the home and “made concerning statements,” prompting them to request assistance from Chesapeake SWAT and the Crisis Negotiation Team.
