By: (AP) The estranged husband of a slain newspaper photographer has surrendered to face charges that he shot her to death.
Raymond Houston, 38, an electrical technician, surrendered Monday, police spokesman George Phillips said. An arraignment is scheduled for Wednesday.
Luci S. Houston, 43, a photographer with the
San Jose Mercury News, had been missing for nearly a week. Her body was found Nov. 25 covered with a tarp in the back seat of her company car near a cemetery about a mile from her home. She died of gunshot wounds.
The couple had planned to divorce, Phillips said.
Police Sgt. Tim Nolan said his department believes the evidence will show Houston was shot at the couple's Oakland home.
The
Mercury News reported Monday that police alleged Raymond Houston patched a bullet hole in a bedroom wall in the couple's home and repainted the wall.
Luci Houston started working at the
Mercury News in 1993. She previously was a photographer for
The (Cleveland)
Plain Dealer.
