KERRVILLE, Texas-Officials say they have arrested a suspect after a woman was found slain outside of the Central Texas radio station where she worked.

Kerr County Sheriff Rusty Hierholzer said the woman's body was found early Wednesday morning at The Ranch Radio Group offices in Kerrville. Heirholzer says the killing appears to be a "random act of violence."

She's been identified as Sherry Ruth Francis, 52,  who officials say had worked at the station for about a month.

Hierholzer hasn't released details of how she was killed. An autopsy is planned.

Heirholzer says about 90 minutes after the body was found, the suspect was seen walking along a highway and confessed under questioning.

Kerrville is about 70 miles northwest of San Antonio.
