The Murder Trial of a Fountain City Woman Accused of Killing Her 5-Year-Old Daughter is Underway

It’s day two (Tuesday) in the murder trial of a Fountain City woman accused of killing her young daughter.

Robin Howington is accused of shooting her 5 year-old daughter at a home on Balsam Drive in 2019. She’s charged with felony murder, child neglect, false reporting and tampering with evidence.

In court yesterday (Monday), Prosecutors say Howington changed her story multiple times saying she told police different things about what happened that night.

The Prosecution showed the jury security footage from a neighbor claiming she hid the gun while on the phone with 911.

The Defense made several arguments in its opening statement as well saying there were issues with the interviewing process.

The trial is expected to last all week long.
