According to the police, Angela Juanette Bishop was allegedly shot dead by his 42-year-old husband, James Leon Beard, who was arrested at the scene shortly after the incident.
The police reportedly found Bishop's body placed in the passenger seat of her Toyota Camry and with her four children, aged between eight and 13, sitting in the backseat.
"The victim's body was placed in the passenger seat of her car after being shot. Her four children were in the car and gave the same account of events," Beard's arrest warrant notes.
