A Georgia woman who was accused of shooting and killing her daughter-in-law in June was indicted by a Cobb County grand jury on Thursday.

Jenna Wall, 35, was found dead inside her home on June 23 shortly after her mother-in-law, Elizabeth Wall arrived at the victim's home with her grandsons, aged seven and eight.

Authorities said Elizabeth Wall, 63, told the boys to wait outside in a pickup truck when she entered the home, WSB-TV reported.

Jenna Wall (pictured), 35, was found dead inside her home on June 23 shortly after her mother-in-law, Elizabeth Wall arrived at the victim's home with her grandsons, aged seven and eight

The victim's estranged husband and the boys' father, Jerrod Wall, received a call from his mother telling him to come and get his sons, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

When he arrived, he found her sitting in the living room holding a gun and his estranged wife dead in the kitchen.

Elizabeth Wall was arrested the same day and police believe she shot her daughter-in-law four times.

Wall was reportedly indicted on charges of malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of firearm during commission of a felony, and two counts of cruelty to children in the third degree, according to the Journal.

In July, police said at a probable cause hearing that Wall researched shootings and bought a gun about two months before the murder, the Journal reported.

According to WSB-TV, neighbors say that the teacher lived at the home with her parents because she was going through a divorce.

The couple had been married for 12 years.

Police have not released a motive for the shooting yet, but believe that it was domestic in nature.

Documents obtained by WGCL show that the former couple who were married on July 17, 2004 had been separated for a year as they were in the middle of a contentious divorce.

The teacher filed for divorce first, but in a counter-petition filed by Jerrod Wall, he claims that she was involved in an extra-marital affair with a former boyfriend from high school.

In the documents, he claimed that his estranged wife disclosed to him that she was having the affair after she filed for divorce.

The mother-of-two and her former high school boyfriend started communicating via social media in 2013 before meeting up in 2014.

Jerrod Wall claimed in the divorce petition that the she would speak to the man between 15 to 20 times a day while she was at work or at home with the family.

He alleged that the kindergarten teacher created specific accounts to communicate with him in an effort to conceal the affair, and that she had sex with him inside the home they shared.

Jerrod Wall, who is an investigator at the Paulding District Attorney's Office, claims that she exposed their children to at least one of her romantic meetings with the man.

In addition, he claims that she would not allow him to spend time with their two children and filed for permanent custody of the boys.

But he claimed that she was financially and emotionally unstable and wouldn't be able to care for the children, the documents state.
