HOUSTON — *Editor's note: The above video was originally published on April 30, 2020, when this story was first reported.*

UPDATE: The boyfriend of a woman found shot to death in her north Houston apartment was arrested Friday in connection with her death.

The woman -- identified as Darlene Solis, 33 -- is the daughter of a Harris County sheriff's deputy. Her body was found in the bathroom of her apartment in the 300 block of W. Little Rock Road on Thursday after her father came to check on her.

"A Harris County deputy came over here to check on the wellbeing of his daughter (because he) hadn't heard from her in a couple of days," Houston police Sgt. Michael Casso said on Thursday.

Houston police homicide investigators said on Thursday they were looking for the woman's boyfriend on Thursday.

On Friday afternoon, they tweeted that the man -- 31-year-old Corey Lewis Campbell -- had been arrested in Forsyth County, North Carolina. He has been charged with murder.

Anyone with information in this case is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

PREVIOUSLY: Houston police are investigating the apparent shooting death of the daughter of a Harris County Sheriff's deputy.

The as-yet unnamed 34-year-old woman was found shot to death inside an apartment in the 300 block of W. Little York Road just before noon on Thursday.

"A Harris County deputy came over here to check on the wellbeing of his daughter (because he) hadn't heard from her in a couple of days," Houston police Sgt. Michael Casso said.

Casso said the woman's family last talked to her Tuesday.

The deputy found his daughter in the bathroom, Casso said. She'd been shot at least once.

Casso said Houston police are looking for the woman's boyfriend, who is not considered a suspect. 

"We don't know where his whereabouts are at this time," Casso said. "We don't know if he's been injured, we don't know his involvement. So we do need to track him down and talk to him."

Police asked Houston residents to avoid the area during their investigation.
