Andrew Buckingham, 31, was charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action and tampering with physical evidence in the shooting death of a University City woman found dead inside a car with her infant nearby.

Police say Buckingham on Monday went to the home of Sharita Brooks, 30, and had her drive him, with Brooks' 8-month-old daughter in tow, to the 1600 block of Claudine Drive in Spanish Lake. During the trip, police say Brooks called a friend and said she did not feel safe.

Moments later, police say, Buckingham shot Brooks multiple times in the head. She was found in the driver's seat of the car, with the car in park and the engine still running, at about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Brooks' daughter, still in the car when police arrived, was taken to a hospital for examination but did not appear to be injured, county police officer Tracy Panus said.
