There was a shocking murder Saturday night in a small Johnson County town. A 12-year-old boy was arrested for repeatedly shooting a Sonic employee with an AR-15 rifle.

KEENE, Texas - The Keene Police Department says a woman has been arrested in connection to the shooting of a Sonic worker earlier this year.

Ashley Marmolejo Gomez was arrested in Johnson County on Wednesday and charged with the manslaughter of 32-year-old Matthew Davis.

Davis was shot and killed in May of this year at the fast food restaurant.

The Sonic employee allegedly confronted 20-year-old Angel Gomez about urinating in the parking lot and the two got into a fight.

A 12-year-old boy in a nearby car then grabbed an AR-15 rifle from Gomez's car and shot Davis multiple times.

The 12-year-old was found "delinquent," which is the juvenile court equivalent to guilty of murder in October.
