Police in East Texas say a man admitted killing his ex-girlfriend in Fort Worth earlier this week.

Jamie Devon Brown, 38, faces capital murder charges for the death of 36-year-old Kelly Lawson.

Lawson was found dead early Tuesday morning in an affluent southwest Fort Worth neighborhood near the intersection of Bellaire Drive and Ranch View Road.

Police said she was not wearing any clothes above the waist and had been shot multiple times. Some neighbors reported hearing gunshots early that morning.

Brown is from Longview and was arrested there Thursday. Police said he provided a statement to investigators admitting that he shot Lawson.

Police said the two were previously in a relationship but they did not elaborate on the motive for the murder.

Brown is being held in the Gregg County jail. His bond was set at $150,000.
