A suspect is in custody after confessing to the murder of Lauren Landavazo.

On Sunday afternoon just before 1:30p.m. the Wichita Falls Police Department responded to a suspicious persons call in the 4700 block of Southwest Parkway.  When they arrived they made a traffic stop on a vehicle matching Friday’s vehicle description.  The driver was identified as Kody Lott.  The 20-year-old was arrested on scene for a prohibited weapon charge.  He was then taken to the station to be questioned about the shooting.  That’s when Lott confessed to the murder of Lauren Landavaza and the shooting of Makayla Smith.
Lott is currently in the Wichita County Jail charged with Murder, Aggravated Assault, and Prohibited Weapon.  His bond is set at just over $4-million.
