Woman charged with murdering husband, a SEPTA engineer, in Philadelphia, police say
A 39-year-old woman was charged with killing her husband in Philadelphia's Upper Roxborough neighborhood on Monday, police said.
Danielle Baxter was arrested last week for allegedly shooting and killing her husband, 38-year-old Jordan Baxter, police said. She was charged with murder and other offenses.
On March 19, police said officers responded to the 800 block of Bells Mill Road in Upper Roxborough for the report of a person screaming. Officers arrived at the scene and found Jordan Baxter lying on a plastic sheet between two parked cars. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said Jordan Baxter was found with a gun resting on his chest.
It's unclear what led to the shooting.
Baxter had worked for SEPTA for 14 years and was a Regional Rail engineer, a spokesperson said in an email.
"SEPTA is saddened by the tragic loss of Jordan Baxter, who was a veteran Regional Rail engineer. Our thoughts are with his loved ones at this difficult time," the spokesperson said.
