The arrest comes after a passing driver made a grisly discovery around 1:30 p.m. Sunday, finding Markie McGinnis, 29, dead in her car on FM 2830 in Raywood. She’d been shot multiple times through her driver’s side window after leaving a church service in the area, authorities say.

Authorities are asking for any witnesses to come forward who may have witnessed a possible roadside disturbance on Sunday in the area of the shooting to report their information to the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office at (936) 336-4500.

Law enforcement said the motive for the shooting is still unknown.

Davis is currently in the Liberty County Jail, held on a murder warrant.
