Cameron Espitia, 31, is being held on $3 million bail for investigation of homicide in the death of 29-year-old Jennifer Espitia early Sunday morning in the city's Queen Anne neighborhood, Q13 Fox reported.
The suspect told police he'd been having a bad night with his wife -- and he was drinking, investigators said.
The Uber driver told cops Jennifer Espitia was sitting in the front and Cameron Espitia was in the back seat shortly after midnight when they began arguing, according to probable cause documents.
The driver said Cameron Espitia cursed repeatedly at his wife before the driver heard a boom and thought a tire had burst -- but quickly realized Jennifer Espitia had been shot, documents said.
The driver feared for his life and kept driving on Cameron Espitia's orders, police said. Eventually, he told the driver to pull over. After the man left the vehicle, the driver called police.
