WARREN, Ohio - 21 News has obtained the 911 recording of the call made in connection to Friday's apparent murder-suicide in Warren.

The murder victim's frightened 11-year-old daughter was actually on the telephone calling for help when shots rang out just after 11:30 Friday morning.

Roleigh Culver of Warren who police believe shot and killed his girlfriend on Friday with her 11-year-old daughter and autistic son in the house, was convicted of domestic violence against Jessica Crowder just eight months earlier.

This time witnesses say an argument over groceries set things off.

Crowder's daughter apparently tried to protect her mother and was already on the phone with a 911 dispatcher calling for help just seconds before the first shot was fired at the Hamilton Street South West home.

On the 911 tape you can hear a scream and then the young girl says "He just shot her!" The 911 dispatcher tells her to stay on the line and then asks the child is he being physically abusive to her mom right now? And the 11-year-old again tells the dispatcher that Culver just shot her mother.

The young girl goes on to explain that her grandmother instructed her to get upstairs to safety, but that her grandmother and her 15-year-old austistic brother are still downstairs with her mother and the gunman.

Then the 11-year-old daughter of the shooting victim (who we are not identifying because of her age) tells the police dispatcher, "I'm sorry that I'm crying." The dispatcher responds, "Your mom was just shot you're going to be very upset." The girl says that Jessica Crowder is on the ground bleeding. She says that blood is coming from her head, and then she says she's not sure if it's actually coming for her head, but she witnessed her fall to the ground and there was blood around her head."

The 911 dispatcher tries to find out if the girl has any idea where the gunman is at.

Witnesses at the time were telling police that he had run to a vacant home just around the corner on Austin Avenue South West. That's when it's believed Culver turned the gun on himself taking his own life as police approached.

The dispatcher tells the murder victim's daughter, "Sweetheart you did really good." And that's when the child asks a question, she says "Depending on where she got shot, is she going to be okay?"

The dispatcher tells the child she doesn't know if her mother will be okay. But according to the coroner Crowder died at the scene.

Jessica Crowder was a regular volunteer at the Warren Family Mission and we're told that the mission will be helping the family with her funeral.
