A man was arrested at a home in Medina County hours after a woman was fatally shot Tuesday morning.

Medina Sheriff Randy Brown said James Marion Williamson, 62, was charged with murder in the death of Toni Lea DeBuse, 46.

Brown said they received a 911 call at 9 a.m. stating that a woman had been shot in a home south of Devine in the 1500 block of Interstate 35 South.

Once they arrived, deputies found Williamson in the yard of the house and detained him.

When deputies went inside the house, they found DeBuse dead from what appeared to be a gunshot wound, Brown said.

“They were friends, boyfriend and girlfriend,” Brown said. “She was staying at his house.”

Williamson’s bail was not immediately available as he has not yet seen a judge as of Tuesday evening, authorities said.
