Singer Ann Marie arrested after man found shot in the head in hotel room

Ann Marie was arrested last week in connection with a shooting in Atlanta.

The R&B singer was discovered by police at the InterContinental hotel in Buckhead on December 1.

Ann Marie, whose real name is Joanne Marie Slater, 25, was taken to Fulton County Jail shortly after the incident.

She has since been remanded in custody on suspicion of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony as well as aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

The singer was found alongside a male, said to be known as Jonathan Wright, who was suffering from a bullet wound in the middle of his forehead alongside an exit wood close to his left temple.

Wright, despite losing a significant amount of blood remained responsive and briefly answered questions on the scene when probed by police.

However, he was later rushed to hospital and continues to remain in a critical condition.

TMZ reports that Ann Marie was “hysterical” but failed to produce tears when police arrived after receiving the emergency response call.

Reports claim that the Ride for Me hitmaker was removed from the area by police due to her hysterical nature while telling cops that she and the victim had grown up together

She is said to have been naked under a hotel bathrobe.

The Chicago-born star is said to have told officers who attended that “a gun fell off a table in the hotel room, which caused the gun to go off, hitting the victim.”

TMZ go on to claim that officers later found two shell casings as well as a bullet hole in the door and a second in a cabinet.

Ann Marie is perhaps best known for her 2018 hit, Secret, which spent four weeks on the Billboard Hot R&B Songs in 2019 – peaking at number 22.

Daily Star has approached Atlanta Police Department for comment.
