She then pulled a gun from her handbag and shot Garcia in the head. The car hit barriers before coming to a full stop.

Copas, who is originally from Kentucky but was visiting her boyfriend in Texas, allegedly called 911 after taking a photo of the driver and texting it to her boyfriend.

"The investigation does not support that a kidnapping took place or that Piedra was veering from Copas' destination," an El Paso Police statement said.
