DailyKenn.com — Beloved convenience store clerk Ginny Bagby, 62, was fatally shot in Baytown, TX.

Todd Carter, 35, 
was arrested and charged with Capital Murder.

Witnesses inside the store called 911 around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday to report a robbery and shooting at the Time Maxx convenience store.

When deputies arrived, they found Bagby critically injured from a gunshot wound. The victim was transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston where she later passed away.

Chambers County deputies initiated a search for the suspect with information provided by a couple who had stopped at the store. Shortly thereafter, deputies spotted the suspect's vehicle. After a brief chase the suspect surrendered.

Police said the shooter didn't even give Bagby a chance to comply before shooting her.

Bagby had been employed at the store since it opened nearly a decade ago.

Employees at Time Maxx expressed their shock, noting that such crimes are rare in their community, and they had never experienced anything like this while working at the store.

Sheriff Hawthorne described the incident as a tragic first for the Chambers County Sheriff's Office, noting that this is the first time in his memory that a store clerk has been killed during a robbery in the county. He called the crime "heinous" and "completely unprovoked."

"We've never seen something so unprovoked and heinous," said Hawthorne. "She was completely submissive, raising her hands in the air when he pulled out the gun, but the demands happened so quickly that she had no time to respond."
