The victim, 29-year-old Markie McGinnis, was found dead by passing motorists on FM 2830 in Raywood, Texas, around 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

From the initial investigation, the sheriff’s office says it appears McGinnis had been shot several times through her driver’s side window shortly after leaving a church service in the area.

Through further investigation, the sheriff’s office determined the suspect was a Louisiana resident, and Davis was arrested by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Marshal’s Service.
