A capital murder warrant was issued last week for Kwanmaine Boyd, 25, in the Oct. 6 slaying of Cavanna Smith, 25, records filed in Harris County District Court show.

Boyd remains at large as of Tuesday afternoon, according to Houston police .

Smith’s body was found in the middle of a street north of downtown Houston after officers were dispatched to a report of a shooting just before 7 a.m., according to a probable cause affidavit. Smith appeared to have been shot in the head.

Later, a witness told investigators he saw the couple arguing in the middle of a street next to a white pickup truck, according to the documents. The gunman fired once with a long gun, striking her, before returning to his truck and driving away.

Investigators later discovered that minutes before the shooting, Smith had sent a text message to a friend telling her where he was in case something happened to her, according to the documents. “Kwan” had kidnapped her, she wrote, and was in the back of her truck.
