A man is in custody after authorities say he turned himself in for fatally shooting a woman in north Harris County.
Deputies with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office said they responded at 9:50 p.m. Saturday to a shooting at a Scottish Inn motel at the 400 block of Rankin.
When they arrived, deputies found a 45-year-old woman’s body in the parking lot of the motel. Sheriff Gonzalez characterizes the killing as a case of domestic violence.
Authorities were searching for the suspect, who had fled the scene in a red-colored Chevy Impala, but they say he turned himself in around 11 p.m.
