Police officers and sheriff’s deputies arrived to find her body inside her bedroom and say she was shot in the back of her head.
Ingham County Sheriff’s detective Charles Buckland said that investigators had determined that no one besides her and her son had been inside the house the night of the killing.
Buckland said that the mother told her son that he would have to keep the dog he had recently found at his dad’s home in Dansville on Thursday evening.

Wilson admitted to police that he went into her room and shot her while she slept with a .22 Magnum rifle, the Journal reported.
He then drove around and got rid of the weapon, but it was recovered by police.
Wilson was arraigned at 55th District Court in Mason on Monday.
A judge denied him bond and he is set to appear in court again on September 28.
He does not have a past criminal history.
