Officers said they responded to a reported shooting in the 2100 block of Lake Country Drive at approximately 9:43 a.m. on Tuesday. They found the woman lying on the ground with what seemed to be a gunshot wound.
“She was transported to a local hospital where she was later pronounced deceased,” police said.
Heimann was still at the scene when cops arrived. Officers said they took him into custody without incident.
“Investigators believe he and the victim, who are family members, got into a verbal argument just prior to the shooting,” cops said. “The case remains under investigation. Officers did recover a firearm from the scene that was booked into evidence.”
Officers did not clarify the nature of the argument, what led up to it, or a motive behind the shooting.
Online records show Heimann is locked up without bond on a count of murder.
