WACO (AP) — A Central Texas man faces a murder charge after police say he shot and killed his ailing 77-year-old wife at their home.

Waco police say 76-year-old Alvin Ray Adams Jr. of Waco was undergoing unspecified medical care Tuesday and was not immediately arrested.

Police say the warrant stems from Monday morning's fatal shooting of 77-year-old Jean Carol Adams. Officer Steve Anderson says the woman had leukemia and was under hospice care.

Anderson says Alvin Adams was transported by ambulance to a hospital for a medical evaluation. The murder warrant was issued late Monday.

Waco police did not immediately provide additional details Tuesday.
