The murder case against a Gwinnett County woman accused of shooting her husband to death will move forward after a magistrate finds enough evidence to bind it over to Superior Court.

Olivia Ortiz is accused of shooting her husband Corey Smith multiple times at his apartment earlier this month in Buford.

Although she had filed for divorce in January and taken out a protective order against him, Ortiz told police the two were apparently on the mend and had even looked for houses together hours before he was shot.  Ortiz had also dropped the divorce proceedings earlier that day.

“She said that in between looking at houses and her going over there, she decided she wasn’t ready for that,” testified Gwinnett Police Det. Matthew Kenck.

Ortiz told Kenck that’s when Smith became angry, got in her face and threatened her.

“She said you’re not going to threaten me and put your hands on me anymore,” relayed Kenck.

It was then, Ortiz told the detective she took a gun from her purse and shot Smith multiple times.

Autopsy results show he suffered two gunshots to his head and one to his thigh.

Kenck says police found Smith dead on the couch and believes he was actually seated when he was shot.

Ortiz has three children, two of them with Smith.
