An arrest has been made in a shooting on Friday that killed a woman and injured a man.

The Montgomery Police Department arrested Johnel Travis, 27, of Montgomery, in connection to the death of Rebecca Quillin, 73, and the attempted murder of an unidentified man.

At about 8:30 p.m. on Friday, MPD patrol and Fire Medics arrived in the 2700 block of Sumter Avenue, between Federal Drive and Coliseum Boulevard.

When they arrived, they found Quillin had been shot dead in her home. The man who was also shot, had a serious gunshot wound to the face and was driven to a local hospital for treatment according to court documents.

Police initially labeled the case as a death investigation, which turned into a homicide when they found out that the shooting took place during a burglary and home invasion according to court documents. Police would not give any details except that Travis, Quillian and the man all knew each other.

Court documents show Travis' home address is next door to where the shooting took place.

Travis was charged with capital murder and attempted murder and was held at the Montgomery County Detention Facility without bond.
