A North Texas man was charged with murder over the weekend, in connection to the death of a Lewisville woman whose body was found near Grapevine Lake spillway last week.
Daniel Burch, 35, is being held in jail for causing the “violent death” of Jennifer Holmes, the Grapevine Police Department said in a press release.
Burch was questioned about Holmes’ death and told detectives he and his close friend had an argument on the way to the lake during the early morning hours of July 5.
As the two argued, Burch pulled over on Fairway Drive, and Holmes was shot multiple times.

The department said its investigators worked around the clock to discover evidence in the case, some of which was found more than a mile away from where the body was recovered.
On July 7, the body was identified as Holmes and detectives were led to Burch. The two lived together at the time of Holmes’ death.
