Deadly Shooting in Holmes Co.-Sister-In-Law Takes Shotgun Blast



LEXINGTON, Miss.--A shotgun blast killed 34-year-old Laura Shows Friday night and cops think her brother-in-law is responsible. Holmes County Sheriff Willie March told us the shooting happened not far from Lexington, in a rural area on Old Tchula Rd.

"About 10 o'clock, the Sheriff's Dept. received a call requesting an ambulance at the Shows residence," he said. March said it wasn't clear at first why there was an ambulance needed, but a dispatcher's alertness may be the reason the accused shooter is already in custody.

"During the course of the call, the dispatcher overheard a conversation that the lady was bleeding and had been shot. During that time, she also sent a deputy along with the ambulance.

Willie March discusses murder

March said Shows died from a shotgun wound. He didn't specify where she was hit.

"Danny Shows is 25 years old. It's her brother-in-law. He's the one we have in custody."

March said Shows is set for a court appearance to be formally charged Monday. He said the two were arguing about something, but the details didn't come out in the initial interview.
