St. Bernard Parish Deputy Chief John Doran identified the victim as Kimberly Owens, 48. The suspect was identified as 56-year-old Mark Owens. Doran said Mark Owens may have been lying in wait for his ex-wife under the house she shared with her mother in Chalmette. He was being held at the St. Bernard Parish jail and faces a second-degree murder charge. Pohlmann said Kimberly Owens had obtained a restraining order against Mark Owens in 2015 after he was arrested and charged with false imprisonment and simple battery.
