SHELBYVILLE, Ky. — A Shelbyville man has been arrested in connection with the deadly shooting of an 83-year-old woman at her home just days before Thanksgiving, officials said.
Alvin L. Brooks was arrested on charges of murder, tampering with physical evidence and first-degree robbery, according to records from the Shelby County Sheriff's Office.

Investigators said Brooks is the suspect in the shooting of White Deanie Logan, who was found dead Monday at her home on Zaring Mill Road. The coroner's office said the 83-year-old woman died of a gunshot wound.
According to the sheriff's office, a witness told police that they spotted a suspicious vehicle in the driveway of the home over the weekend. Investigators were able to track down the vehicle, a white car with plastic over the driver's side window, and also located a firearm they said matched casings found at the victim's home.
Brooks allegedly told investigators that he was on Zaring Mill Road Saturday night, but that he had no role in the murder, according to the arrest report.
Investigators said they interviewed Brooks' wife who told them that her husband had shot an elderly woman on Saturday and took $500 from the victim.
According to the arrest report, Brooks showed his wife the victim's purse and identification before dumping the items in a body of water.
Additional details were not released by investigators.
Brooks is being held on $500,000 bond.
Anyone with information in the investigation can contact the sheriff's office at 502-633-4324.
