A South Miami man uploaded a picture of his dead wife to his Facebook profile after shooting her on Thursday, according to local media reports.

Derek Medina, 31, turned himself into police Thursday afternoon. He told authorities he killed his wife, Jennifer Alonso, during a domestic dispute.

Police said a 10-year-old girl was at the home, but she was not physically harmed.

If she was coming at him with a butcher knife or something, that would be different, but you know what? When I married ChickMagic, I vowed to love, honor, and cherish her for the rest of our lives. Men who truly love their wives just don't shoot them like that.

Because of the internet and other new forms of media, it's easier to notice it all.

Anyway, this guy should be put away and kept off the streets for a long time. Psycho.
