MOUNT HOLLY -- A woman accused of shooting her wife in the face was arrested and charged with murder early Monday morning, authorities said.

Laura Bluestein was arrested Sunday after allegedly shooting her wife in the face.

Laura Bluestein, 28, faces charges of first degree murder, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and tampering with evidence, according to the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office.

Police arrived at the home on Mill Street Sunday evening after a relative of Bluestein reported a possible assault inside the residence, authorities said.

At the scene, police found 29-year-old Felicia Dormans, who had suffered a gunshot wound to the face, according to the prosecutor's office. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Bluestein was arrested at her home, and told police there that she was married to Dormans, authorities said.

A motive in the slaying remains under investigation.

Bluestein and Dormans' Facebook pages shows happy photos of the couple, vacationing in Ocean City, Maryland in late May and moving in to a house together earlier that same month.

Bluestein is being held in the Burlington County Jail. She is scheduled for a hearing Monday afternoon in Burlington County Superior Court.
