Upon arriving at Christian Life Church on West 90th Street and Emerson Avenue South, authorities found the woman inside a Jeep Liberty. The woman's boyfriend was outside the vehicle on the scene.

Police are still trying to piece together where the woman was shot or if she was even shot in the church parking lot.

A second car, possibly linked to the death, was towed from the scene.

This tidbit is surprising, as reported by KSTP News:

Richard Monroe Scheibe, 33, of Elk River, was arrested in connection with the woman's death.

Police say the woman's body was found inside an SUV at the Christian Life Church in the south metro suburb late Monday. The woman had a gunshot wound when she was found.

Scheibe was an paramedic and the victim was an EMT.

What a waste.
