An Ohio man who barged into the home of his ex-girlfriend and shot her in front of her children pleaded guilty to her murder.

Tony Jackson, 32, originally faced 11 felony charges in connection with the fatal shooting of 34-year-old Matyka Brown, which took place in February at her home in Dayton, Ohio. According to Montgomery County Prosecutor Mat Heck, Jackson showed up at Brown's home on Feb. 10 while she was there with her new boyfriend. Jackson left, then returned to the house , broke into it, and threatened Brown and her two daughters, ages 9 and 14 years old, with a gun.

Jackson fired one shot at Brown as the girls fled, then pulled the trigger to deliver the fatal shot to the girls' mother as they ran to their neighbors' house to get help.
