Samantha Marion, the woman charged with the fatal March 12 shooting of Ricky Floyd, the late senior lead pastor of Pursuit of God Church, during a religious dispute outside a bar in Memphis, Tennessee, allegedly told police she shot him by mistake.

The 42-year-old Marion, who is free on bond on a charge of voluntary manslaughter in Floyd's death, appeared in court for a preliminary hearing where a special district attorney working on the case called only one witness, Patrolman Cordell Boyd, who was the first officer to arrive at the crime scene. Floyd was shot outside Momma's Bar and Kitchen located at 855 Kentucky Road.

At the hearing, according to News Action 5 , the district attorney played the audio of Marion’s 911 call admitting to shooting Floyd.
