A 24-year-old man killed in Turtle Creek early Saturday morning was shot by his girlfriend after hours of domestic abuse, according to Allegheny County police. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s office identified the man as Nigel Broadus.

Police said the abuse started around 2 a.m. Saturday, when the 28-year-old woman was repeatedly assaulted and held against her will for about three hours. During the assault, police said, Mr. Broadus threatened to kill her and began looking for her legally purchased firearm that she kept in the house.

The woman was able to find the firearm first and shot Mr. Broadus as he came toward her, said police. She then left the house on the 300 block of Mortimer Avenue and called 911 at 5:14 a.m.

First responders found Mr. Broadus with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced him dead at the scene.
