A Riverview mom who was shot and had her throat slashed — allegedly by her husband — has died.
Michelle Dukes, 34, passed away late Thursday night. The original attempted murder charge against Keith Dukes has now been upgraded to 2nd Degree Murder with a weapon.
He’s currently being held in the Hillsborough County Jail with no bond.
The horrific series of events unfolded on Thursday morning, and deputies say it happened in front of their three daughters.
The Dukes’ neighbor, Frank Breden, says he’s lucky to be alive.
Breden says he heard screams and ran out of his house at about 7:15 a.m., and found his neighbor, Michelle, standing the street with her throat slashed in the 8000 block of Van Fleet Road.
Moments later, Breden found himself staring down the barrel of a gun.
“This man was three feet away from me, if that. I heard the click,” said Breden.
The gun jammed.
“You need to get out of here,” Keith Dukes then says to Breden, according to an arrest affidavit.
Dukes then pointed the gun at another neighbor who had come outside after hearing the screams. But Michelle’s husband reloaded, says Breden, and shot Michelle right in front of the couple’s three daughters. Breden found Michelle inside a neighbor’s home where she had tried to run for safety.
“She was slumped over behind the door,” he said. “And I literally had to get down on my knee to feel her pulse. And she was just barely there.”
