A suspected killer of a South Carolina woman was arrested 100 miles away after he allegedly fatally shot the victim as she arrived at her job Friday morning.
Katy Brooke Jones, 36, was shot inside her car at around 6:45 a.m. as she arrived at her workplace in NRTC Automation in Piedmont, South Carolina.
Detectives believe 33-year-old Derek Snyder approached the victim’s car and shot her several times before taking off.
Snyder was located in Buford, Georgia about 100 miles away where he was arrested a few hours later.
“Working in collaboration with Gwinnett (County) and Georgia authorities, as soon as Snyder left a house, officers initiated a traffic stop and caught Snyder,” Anderson County Sheriff Spokeswoman Shale Remien said.
While a motive for the murder remains unknown, detectives said Snyder had previously worked at NRTC.
He was charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
