Man charged with DV murder after allegedly shooting Gold Coast mother who could ‘light up any room’

A woman who died from gunshot wounds in an alleged domestic violence murder was “a beautiful young mother” who leaves behind a two-year-old son. Emergency services were called to a home on Loder Street in the Gold Coast suburb of Biggera Waters, in Queensland , at about 8pm on Sunday. Detective acting Inspector Leia Urquhart said emergency services rushed to the property after a neighbour called triple zero. They found 23-year-old Mallorie Jane Roberts with gunshot wounds at the home. Urquhart described it as “a pretty confronting scene”. Despite the “very best efforts” of first responders, the woman was declared dead at the scene.
