The woman accused of killing her boyfriend in their southwest Bakersfield home has been arrested for murder.

Officers say 49-year-old Michaele Bowers called 911 after shooting 51-year-old Raymond Ingram just before 6:15 Wednesday morning at the house on McKee Road near Harvest Wind Drive. The couple’s children were not there at the time, and neighbors say they were a quiet family.

Ingram owned J’s Place restaurant on Rosedale Highway.
