Cedric Campbell

Irving police have arrested a suspect after a woman was shot and killed at a hotel last week.

On Friday, police were called to the Clarion Inn & Suites DFW North because of numerous noise complaints.

While officers were on the way to the hotel, shots were fired, according to police.

Investigators said that Cedric Campbell and two women were fighting inside the hotel room.

One of the women told police Campbell forced Zenri McGee to her knees, placed her in a choke hold from behind, and then shot her in the chest, an arrest warrant affidavit states.

McGee was taken to the hospital where she died.
