William Thomas Chisholm, 41, is being charged with capital murder. Oktibbeha County Coroner Michael Hunt identified the victim as 42-year-old Shauna Witt, who worked as an optometrist in Starkville. She arrived at the hospital with two gunshot wounds at 9:58 a.m. and was pronounced dead at 10:05 a.m.

Close friends and family of the victim tell police Chisholm and Witt were in an "on again off again" dating relationship.
