DAVIN -

A man is dead in Logan County after being shot by his girlfriend.

State Troopers say Venus Parton fatally shot her estranged boyfriend, George Bowens in the Davin area of Logan County around noon on Sunday, February 15. 

Bowens suffered a single gunshot wound. 

Parton is claiming self-defense and went willingly with investigators to be questioned.

State Police said Bowens had been living at the residence on and off.

An investigation is underway right now to determine if the shooting was a homicide or self-defense following a home invasion.
