The widow of a Washington police lieutenant found shot to death in his Upper Marlboro home has been charged with hiring an Oxon Hill man to kill the 13-year officer.

Prince George's County police said Nicolle Baxter, 31, of the 100 block of Stan Fey Drive in Upper Marlboro, hired 31-year-old Hayes Capers Jr., of the 5100 block of Linwood Drive in Oxon Hill, to kill her husband.

Garret Allen Baxter, 34, was found shot several times in the upper body shortly after 9 a.m. Sept. 20 in the garage of the couple's $550,000 home.

Nicolle Baxter was arrested Thursday. Capers was arrested Friday, said Capt. Andrew Ellis, a police spokesman.

Both have been charged with first-degree murder and are being held in Prince George's County jail without bond.
