A 34 year-old Roseland, Louisiana, man has been arrested for the Saturday shooting death of a McComb, Mississippi, woman.

McComb Police say Shaunta Ardillo, 25, was shot at least five times through the right window of a Ford Expedition in a parking lot in McComb after a domestic dispute over the weekend.

Louisiana police arrested Alanza "Henry" James, 34, Sunday night for the murder of Ardillo. McComb investigators say Ardillo had been living in McComb for only a few months but had recently been fired from her job at a tanning studio. James had been fired recently from a McComb auto dealership. 

The shooting occurred in a church parking lot behind a rooming house where Ardillo lived at 411-1/2 Delaware Avenue at about 1:50 p.m. Saturday. She was found in a 1998 white Ford Expedition, shot to death, Saturday evening.

Police say Ardillo was the mother of four children under the age of nine. They were still in Louisiana, where she is orginally from.

James is expected to extradited back to Mississippi from Louisiana Wednesday.
