OXFORD, Miss. ( WJTV ) – A trial is underway for an Oxford woman charged in the shooting death of her boyfriend in 2022.

The Oxford Eagle reported Alexandria Griste, 31, had been dating Cory Lyles, 29, for about a year and were living together at the time of the shooting. Prosecutors said the couple had a troubled relationship and were seen arguing at a softball game the day before the shooting.

Oxford police said the shooting happened on June 8, 2022, just after midnight on South Lamar Boulevard. Lyles died at the scene. Griste was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

Griste’s defense attorney said his client was acting in self-defense.
