SEFFNER, Fla. - A man accused of shooting and killing a Seffner woman in cold blood has been arrested about one mile away from the crime scene, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies say Aurelio Diaz, 32, shot a woman through a window of her car as she drove up to her home on the 4000 block of Orange Street around 1 a.m. on Thursday.
Paris Dube told FOX 13 she is the grandmother of the victim’s child and identified the woman killed as Ashley Voss.

Dube says she watched Ring video that shows a man walking up to Voss's car and shooting her. Dube says Voss has two young boys, two boys who will never see their mom again.
"For whatever reason you felt like you needed to do that, she was a mom, she was a really good mom. She loved her boys, and now they're never going to know her," Dube said.
