## Summary

Prosecutors say Salomi Derena Ochsner, 63, told investigators she shot her husband, Jeff, after he allegedly hit her repeatedly the previous evening and she feared he would kill her. She was arrested and charged with first-degree murder; the allegations have not been tested in court.

Ochsner called law enforcement on Friday morning, and officers found Jeff’s body at about 7am at their rural home near Chattanooga, Oklahoma. She is being held on $200,000 bond and is due back in court for a preliminary hearing conference on 19 January 2027. Court records also show she filed for divorce in 2005, but the case was later dismissed.
