Police are now saying the man who shot her was her boyfriend, Anthony Harris.

Harris, 58, was found dead on October 13.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner is working to determine Harris' cause of death.

He was initially only named a "person of interest" by police, but on Thursday they confirmed he is the suspect.

Harris had a lengthy criminal history and was out on parole at the time of the shooting, according to investigators.

A search of Tarrant County Court records shows Harris had multiple convictions for aggravated assault against a public servant and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

In Gibbs' shooting, the Texas Rangers and Forest Hill Police Department are looking into additional evidence, including shell casings, telephone records and fingerprints.

The gun used in the shooting still has not been recovered.

Police said Harris and Gibbs had been dating for approximately two years.
