According to an arrest report obtained by the outlet, Fael Francois allegedly put a pillow over his wife’s head while she was sleeping, but she fought him off and got away. He then allegedly grabbed her arms and shook and slapped her before she got free.Once she was free, the victim, whose name has not been released, reportedly called her sister, NBC Miami reports. Francois overheard the conversation and retrieved a gun, which he allegedly pointed at her head while saying, “Today you’re going to die.” Francois then allegedly pulled the trigger, but there was no magazine inserted, so the weapon did not fire.
