Calvert man charged with murdering wife A Calvert man has been arrested on a charge of murder in connection with the death of his wife at their home on Gaines Road in Calvert. Rayfield Rodgers, 62, is a suspect in the shooting death of Maggie Gaines Rodgers, 53, said Deputy Idris Merida. The man is suspected of shooting his wife once in the chest with a .32 caliber revolver after a domestic argument. Their 10-year-old daughter, who was in an adjacent room, heard the shooting and reported it. Merida said the suspect went to a relative's house in Mobile, where he was arrested by Mobile Police and transported to the Washington County Jail. The shooting took place around 7 p.m. Sunday. The victim apparently was attempting to leave the house, because a purse was found in her hand. She fell dead near the front door of their house after being shot in a bedroom.
Assisting in the investigation were Deputy Luke Singleton, Chief Deputy John Traylor and District Attorney Spencer Walker.
