COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Columbus police made an arrest Wednesday evening after a body was found on the city's North Side early Wednesday.
NBC 4 reported with the FAST FACTS.
Columbus police arrested 20-year-old Ashley Nicole Baldwin at 1027 Rumsey Rd. without incident.
Officers were dispatched to the parking lot of the Northland Arm apartments on the 4600 block of Tamarack Boulevard around 2 a.m. Wednesday morning.
The body of an adult male was discovered in a black SUV in the lot.
James A. Davis, 47, was found fatally shot with a gunshot wound to the head. Police said a firearm was found in the SUV with the body.
An NBC 4 crew was reporting live from the scene of a SWAT standoff on Rockcastle Drive near Morse and Karl roads Tuesday morning.
A woman walked up to the crew and asked for a cell phone shortly before 6 a.m. She told NBC 4 her husband, Davis, had been shot in the head. She called 911.
The woman led police to a nearby parking lot, but it wasn't the one where Davis' body was found.
Columbus police searched for Baldwin throughout Wednesday and released a photo to the media in hopes she would be found and could be questioned.
Police said detectives believe Baldwin was responsible for Davis' fatal shooting and have charged her with his homicide.
NBC 4 originally reported Baldwin was Davis' wife. She said so in the 911 call to report his shooting, but authorities said Baldwin and Davis were not married.
