Ore City, TX: Ore City woman indicted on murder charge in husband's death

LONGVIEW, TX — An Ore City woman was indicted on two counts of murder Wednesday in the August shooting death of her husband.

Sharon Maxwell was charged with murder in late August after her husband, Gordon Maxwell, 46, of Ore City was found dead in a car on Texas 155 in August.

His body was found after authorities responded to a vehicle fire at a home on Texas 155, just north of the Ore City limits. Investigators found a body in the vehicle after the fire was extinguished. Officials described the condition of the body as "suspicious in nature." According to an autopsy issued by the Southwest Forensic Center in Dallas, Gordon Maxwell died from multiple gunshot wounds.
