MTV REALITY star Amber Rosales has been arrested for “shooting and killing her husband” in Texas after the couple was married for only four days.
Amber, who starred in the stand-alone season of MTV’s canceled Big Tips Texas, was booked in jail yesterday morning and is currently held on a $500,000 bond.
The police records obtained by The Celeb Report report Amber, 30, fatally shot Jeffrey McBride on April 25 inside of a truck as they drove down a Denton County, Texas road.
Officers responded to two 911 calls: the initial call was made by Amber herself as she told dispatchers her husband had “just been shot.”
The second was made by a witness who reported a pickup truck had “just crashed in the yard of a residence.”
When police arrived on site, the victim Jeffrey, 31, was unconscious and occupying the driver’s seat.

According to the local news outlet Denton Record-Chronicle, the arrest affidavit said Amber was beside him in the passenger seat “crying and touching McBride.”
Amber told police on the scene that Jeffrey intended on “doing a drug deal” and that “it went badly.”
Starcasm, who initially reported on Amber’s arrest, said she told officers her husband stopped the truck to talk to a man.
The police report reported Amber then: “stated the male then shot at the victim [Jeffrey] from the passenger side door and tossed the gun into the truck before running away.”
Local news outlets have also shared Amber alleged: “The man shot her husband, wiped off the revolver, tossed it into the front passenger floorboard of the vehicle, then fled on foot.”
The reality star also told police the man had stolen the weapon from Jeffrey’s family home.
Amber then told police Jeffrey’s foot hit the accelerator, causing the pickup truck to crash into the nearby yard.
SHOCKING DETAILS
However, an on-site officer noticed “scratches on her left and right arm” and that her “right pinkie finger was swollen.”
Amber could allegedly not explain the scratches and claimed her finger was broken from “struggling for the revolver.”
The affidavit also noticed differences in Amber’s story from when she was interviewed on-site to what she told more officers down at the station.
At first, she claimed the weapon was a pistol, then later said it was a revolver.
Police found the revolver in the front passenger side floorboard where Amber had been sitting.
Additionally, no surveillance footage in the area showed the truck stopping at any point nor a sign of a male fleeing on foot.
The Denton Record-Chronicle shared the affidavit that stated Jeffrey “sustained a single gunshot wound to his right side and the only person in the vehicle that could have fired the weapon was [Amber] and not an unknown male.”
Amber was arrested on a murder warrant yesterday morning at her home.
FAMILY MOURNS
Jeffrey’s sister Katy McBride said her brother had not known Amber for a long time before their marriage.
According to Denton County marriage records, the couple married four days before Jeffrey’s death on April 21.
Katy also said an “extensive amount of police resources went into [Amber’s] arrest.”
She shared with local news outlets on behalf of her family: “We’re thankful for the excellent and diligent work of the Denton Police Department for bringing justice to Jeff.
“Jeff’s friends and family love and miss him every day and nothing will bring him back. But we are hopeful the person who did this to Jeff will be held accountable.
“The arrest helps, but it is never going to fill this unbelievable void in our lives.”
