Wife Tracks Husband Using His Google Account, Finds Him with Another Woman and Shoots Her with Pink Gun — Now She’s Headed to Prison for 35 Years

Michelle Gladys Bingley said she “lost her mind” after discovering her husband with another woman. She later claimed she only wanted to scare him, but a jury convicted her of murder in a shooting that left 40-year-old Tineseing Lachell Johns dead.

A South Carolina woman will spend 35 years in prison after shooting and killing the woman she found sitting in a car with her husband. Michelle Gladys Bingley, 43, was convicted of murder in the April 28, 2025, death of Tineseing Lachell Johns in Walterboro, South Carolina. The verdict came after a three-day trial, during which prosecutors presented evidence about how Bingley tracked down her husband and confronted him after suspecting he was being unfaithful. On October 29, 2026, a jury found her guilty, and Circuit Court Judge Donald B. Hocker sentenced her to 35 years behind bars.

According to investigators, Bingley used her husband’s Google account to locate him at his mother’s home after learning that he might be seeing someone else. When she arrived, she found him inside a vehicle with Johns. Bingley later told detectives that she became overwhelmed with anger when her husband refused to get out of the car. She then pulled out a pink revolver and fired into the occupied vehicle, striking Johns. Walterboro police officers responded to a report of an unresponsive woman on Grace Street at approximately 11:30 p.m. They found Johns on the ground with a gunshot wound beneath her arm. Emergency responders rushed her to the hospital, but she died from her injuries.

In her interview with investigators, Bingley offered an explanation for the shooting but also made statements acknowledging what had happened. She reportedly told detectives, “I didn’t mean to do anything,” and claimed she had fired the weapon only to scare her husband. At another point, she admitted, “I killed somebody.” After the shooting, Bingley drove away and discarded the pink revolver, which investigators never recovered. She turned herself in to authorities several days later. Despite the missing firearm, prosecutors presented evidence during the trial, including testimony from 12 witnesses, to establish her responsibility for Johns’ death.

The murder conviction was not the only finding against Bingley. The jury also found her guilty of domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature, possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime, and discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle. These additional convictions reflected the circumstances of the confrontation and the danger created when she fired into the car. Prosecutors emphasized that Johns was the person who lost her life in a dispute that began with Bingley’s suspicions about her marriage. The case was prosecuted by the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office, which described domestic violence as an issue with consequences extending far beyond the people directly involved.

Bingley’s sentence brings a significant development in a case that began with a late-night confrontation and ended with a woman’s death. She is expected to serve her 35-year sentence at Camille Graham Correctional Institution in Columbia, South Carolina. Johns’ death was ruled a homicide following an autopsy, and the jury’s verdict established Bingley’s criminal responsibility for the shooting. What began as a personal dispute over suspected infidelity ultimately became a murder case — leaving Johns’ loved ones to mourn a life lost and Bingley facing decades behind bars.
