Investigators say the motive was domestic in nature.

According to court documents obtained by Action 8 News, Townsend was out on bond for a 1st degree burglary charge that occurred in June 2023 on Southmont Drive in Montgomery. Court records also show as a result of the murder charge, the State has filed a motion to revoke her bond related to that burglary charge.

Waters and Townsend are currently in the Montgomery County Detention Facility on no bond.
