25-year-old Shelby Wiozeschke died Sunday after being shot Thursday morning.

MILFORD, Iowa — Authorities say a woman who was shot twice last week in the parking lot of a Milford medical staffing office where she worked has died. Now the man who was arrested shortly after the shooting faces a murder charge. 

The Sioux City Journal reports that 25-year-old Shelby Wiozeschke died Sunday at a Sioux Falls, South Dakota, hospital where she was flown after being shot Thursday morning, according to a criminal complaint.

Police said the shooting happened in the parking lot at GrapeTree Medical Staffing and that Wiozeschke called 911 and identified 25-year-old Christian Goyne-Yarns, of Spirit Lake, as the person who shot her. 

Goyne-Yarns was arrested about 90 minutes after the shooting on suspicion of attempted murder. He's now charged with first-degree murder.

Woizeschke and Goyne-Yarns had a prior relationship and two children together, according to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
