MEMPHIS — Authorities say a Memphis woman has pleaded guilty in the cold-case shooting death of her boyfriend 15 years ago.
Shelby County District Attorney General Amy Weirich said 45-year-old Jacqueline Parson-McFarlin was sentenced to 10 years in prison after her plea to voluntary manslaughter last week in Criminal Court.
She was arrested in November 2013 at her home in Conway, Ark., and charged in the death of Harvey Glenn. Investigators said the 46-year-old Glenn was shot multiple times on Nov. 24, 2000, during an argument with Parson-McFarlin at the home they shared in southwest Memphis.
Investigators said Parson-McFarlin flew to New York the day before Glenn's body was found, told relatives there that she had shot him, and those relatives called her brother in Memphis, who found Glenn's body. Parson-McFarlin apparently never returned to Memphis, authorities said.
Parson-McFarlin told cold-case detectives in 2013 that she shot Glenn during an argument as they struggled over a gun.
She waived extradition from Arkansas and has been in Shelby County custody since then.
