Former Boyers man shoots man to death, kills self
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A convicted rapist with a long rap sheet in Butler County and Tennessee shot a man Thursday afternoon in his adopted southern neighborhood before killing himself, police say.
Sonny S. Coulter, 47, originally of Boyers, shot and killed Ethan Love, 29, in the front yard of Coulter's home in Nashville.
According to Nashville Metropolitan Police reports, Love was dating the mother of Coulter's two children, who was not named in the reports.
After shooting Love, Coulter contacted the woman via FaceTime, where she noticed Love's body on the ground in the background.
The woman called the police, as did a neighbor who Coulter had texted to say that he had just shot a man in his yard.
When police approached the house and called out to Coulter, they heard a shotgun blast coming from the rear of the house.
They found Coulter's body in the back yard with a fatal head wound, according to police reports.
