La. man sought in abduction, slaying
Police in two states are searching for a man who allegedly abducted and killed his estranged girlfriend Saturday, police said.
McComb police issued an arrest warrant for
Alanza "Henry" James, 34, of Roseland, La., in the kidnapping and capital murder of
Shaunta Ardillo, 25, of 411 Delaware Ave. in McComb, police said.
A witness saw James arrive at Ardillo's apartment and the two went outside to talk about 1:50 p.m. Saturday, police said.
The witness heard screams for help and then saw James put the woman in his white 1998 Ford Expedition, police said. The witness said James fired into the passenger side window, got into the vehicle, and drove south on Fourth Street, police said.
Inve
stigators have no motive for the crime and have not recovered a we
apon, said Rod Crawford, Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman in Brookhaven.
"We don't know if it was his gun, but shell casings and broken glass from the scene of the abduction were recovered," Crawford said. "We're not sure if the shell casings belonged to the weapon involved."
Around 7 p.m., Ardillo's body was found inside the white SUV, which was parked at a home in the 3100 block of Pea Ridge Road in Albany, La., according to police.
Dr. Steven Haynes, a forensic pathologist at Mississippi Mortuary Service in Pearl, is performing the autopsy, officials said. The Ford Expedition, with license plate KHT 952, was processed by the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab.
It is unknown if James drove an hour to Albany, La., with Ardillo dead inside the vehicle or if she was killed later, Crawford said.
"We don't know if shots fired in the driveway of the apartment struck the v
ictim or if she received wounds at a later time," Crawford said.
It is unknown if James has a criminal record or if
the two have a history of domestic violence, Crawford said.
Ardillo's four children, who were not fathered by James, did not live with her, Crawford said.
James recently was fired from his job at a car dealership in McComb, Crawford said.
An abduction on a busy street, such as Delaware Avenue, is rare, said Warren Strain, Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol spokesman.
"It's not too often that an individual would perpetrate this on a main street of a town," Strain said. "That would be extraordinary for McComb, because of the broad daylight and the populated area of town."
The Livingston Parish, La., Sheriff's Department, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations, Tangipahoa Parish, La., Sheriff's Department and the McComb Police Department are involved in the investigation.

Rare, but not unknown. Niggers don't care where they are when they commit TNB.
