When asked who shot him, Antwood can be heard saying: "Elizabeth Taylor... She lives on Cooks Lake Road."
Atwood was pronounced dead after being rushed to hospital.
Taylor admitted shooting Larry but said she was the victim of domestic abuse and that she acted in self defence.
The court heard the gun accidentally fired during a confrontation in the car as Larry grabbed her arm.

She said on Wednesday that Larry hit her, grabbed her hair and tried to suffocate her as he drove her truck down the highway.
Managing to break free, Taylor says she went for her .38-calibre revolver.
She claims Larry dared her to shoot him but she wasn't aiming the gun at him when it fired, shooting him in the stomach.
Earlier she had warned him: "You put your hands on me again, I'm going to shoot you. I'm not going to let you do that again and get away with it."
Taylor fled the scene drove to her son's house, knowing that she was in trouble, prosecutors said.
