The Sheriff's Department confirmed Cameron Lawson was arrested on a Geary County District Court warrant issued for his arrest and that charged him with First Degree Murder and Conspiracy to Commit First Degree Murder. Sheriff Dan Jackson noted that there was an "extensive investigation, involved numerous agencies because it was difficult.

At the time authorities were told that the victim was approached by a man described as 6'1 or taller dressed in all black who approached the victim and her husband and attempted to rob the couple at gun point. There was a gun shot and she fell to the ground. She was driven to Geary Community Hospital by her husband but later died of her injuries.
The Sheriff's Office along with the Army Criminal Investigations Division arrested Cameron Lawson at the Sheriff's Office. He is being held at the Geary County Detention Center. His bond has been set at one million dollars.
