WAYNE COUNTY — A man has been arrested for murder in connection with an Indianapolis woman's death near the Indiana-Ohio state line.

The Wayne County Coroner's Office first reported the death on Thursday, stating that they believe foul play was involved.

The coroner said the incident may have occurred in the area of the Petro Travel Center in New Paris, just across the Indiana-Ohio state line.

According to officials, the victim, identified as 36-year-old Shanae Robinson of Indianapolis, was found in a semi-truck wrecked on an I-70 entrance ramp in Wayne County.

The Richmond Fire Department rushed her to a hospital. She died a short time later.

In a Friday morning update, the coroner's office said Ladavid Shaw has been arrested and is being held in the Preble County Jail in Ohio on a charge or murder.

It is still unclear what led to Robinson's death.
