The Madison County State’s Attorney’s Office charged a 30-year-old man in connection with the murder of a Granite City woman, who was found shot to death in her car earlier this week.
According to court documents, Granite City police and paramedics were called to a vacant lot at the intersection of 25th and Madison streets around 5:30 p.m. on February 18 after witnesses noticed a woman slumped over in the front seat of a 2013 Dodge Avenger.
The woman, identified as 35-year-old Stacie Williams, had suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Cory Osborne, whom detectives identified as a person of interest, turned himself in at the Jerseyville Police Department. Investigators learned Osborne and Williams had been dating and until last month shared a residence in Granite City.
Prosecutors said Osborne has a pending misdemeanor domestic violence case from January 2015 in which Williams was the victim.
Osborne will be transported to the Madison County Jail in Edwardsville, where he’ll remain on $2 million bond.
