MARSHFIELD, Mass. — Shana Warner was ready to move on and had tried to leave her husband, Allen Warner, before. But that ended on Monday when she was allegedly shot and killed in her car after being chased by her estranged husband in Marshfield.
Shana Warner, 48, worked with her dad doing landscaping. He told Boston 25 News Tuesday morning he had lost his best friend.
"So thoughtful, generous, surprised you with gifts you never thought you would get," said Thomas DeFilippo.
Shana was found shot with other, unspecified, injuries in her car Monday evening. She was rushed to South Shore Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Her father says he thought she would last a week as a landscaper, but she turned out to be his best.
"We're just best friends. We argued sometimes as usual, but we are best friends," said DeFilippo.
Shana's father told Boston 25 News she was recently engaged to a man and was set to marry in May and had a complicated relationship with Warner. After marrying in 2008, records show Shana tried to divorce Warner three different times, at one point telling the judge he was "verbally and physically abusive due to his drug use behavior."
Her estranged husband, meanwhile, still has open cases in Hingham District Court and Quincy District Court for operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license and failure to display owner's name.
Allen Warner also has seven other closed criminal cases, including larceny over $250. He was arrested in Whitman Tuesday afternoon and is expected to be arraigned in Plymouth District Court on Wednesday.
