Attorneys in Tarrant County, Texas, are mourning one of their own after a lawyer’s reported lover allegedly shot and killed her.

Officers with the Saginaw Police Department arrived at the home in the 200 block of Lottie Lane on the night of July 24 regarding a self-inflicted gunshot wound. But cops said they discovered the victim, Kimberly Marie Knapp, 46, lying on a bed with a gunshot to the upper chest.

Cops applied direct pressure to the wound until local fire and rescue arrived.

An ambulance rushed her to John Peter Smith Hospital, but she succumbed to her injuries.

Cops identified Rance Ray Magby, 32, as the only other occupant of the home where the shooting took place. Magby had called 911 to report Knapp had shot herself, KDFW reported.

“During the initial investigation, evidence led investigators to believe that Mr. Magby was responsible for the death of Ms. Knapp,” they wrote. “Investigators obtained an arrest warrant and Mr. Magby was taken into custody without incident.”

Magby and Knapp were romantically involved, cops confirmed, according to KDFW.
