New girlfriend also charged with murder

HOUSTON Michelle Lira, 23, was killed and her mother wounded when several shots were fired at their Hummer last week outside their home. Lira's former boyfriend, Selestino Torres, is the accused gunman. Torres is charged with murder.

On Wednesday, Torres' new girlfriend, Terri Lynn Wallace, 20, was arrested in Bacliff. Prosecutors say Wallace was the getaway driver and that cell phone records place her at the scene of the crime.

Wallace is also charged with murder. She was released Thursday on bond.
