According to police, officers were dispatched to the scene after the couple's 13-year-old son called 911 and stated that his mother had just been stabbed by his father.
The victim, identified as Candice Roberts, had come to the residence to pick up the couple's 13-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter at the conclusion of a weekend visitation.
"My dad just killed my mom," stated the teen. "He just told me to call you guys."
"He did what?" replied the dispatcher.
"He just ran out and killed my mom," said the teen. "She is laying in the grass in front of our apartment. He told me to call you guys.
That's when Jeremy Roberts got on the phone and told 911 operators that he wasn't going to harm anyone else and that the victim was laying in the front yard, covered with a blanket.
"What did you do?" questioned the dispatcher.
"She's covered in a blanket. You guys will see," replied Roberts.
Roberts can then be heard on the line telling the children "you have a good big sister (who) will take care of you guys. I told you that there's a lot of things that you don't understand, and you don't know. Now there's no choice (but) for them to come out."
Before going to the front door to wait for police, Roberts then handed the phone back to his 13-year-old son and could be heard telling the children "One more hug. I love you guys."
A small child could be heard in the background crying and asking when she'd get to see mommy again.
Roberts was booked into jail and charged with murder.
