HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A man charged with capital murder in the shooting death of a pregnant woman, who her family says was carrying his unborn child, was given a $1 million bond overnight. Turner Butler Blvd. Devin Marsalis Allen, 26, was arrested on Wednesday night in the case of 27-year-old Amber Butler, who was found sitting in the driver's seat of a car with a gunshot wound to her head in southwest Houston more than six months ago. “When this officer gets here, we will have to share him between the two schools until we get the complete funding,” said Eiland. He waived his right to appear in probable cause court overnight, when a judge set the $1 million bond. JFRD reports the crash involves critical injuries due to a car versus pedestrian collision. Butler was just days away from giving birth to her second son when she was found unresponsive on April 8. The driver and passenger of the Audi, a 24-year-old woman and 25-year-old man from Jacksonville, immediately stopped and attempted to render aid, the FHP said. Houston police said the car was parked in a moving lane of traffic with the engine still running in the 3600 block of Willowbend near Highway 90. Heavy delays are expected in the area due to multiple lanes being blocked. The future officer will report to the Butler County Sheriff’s Office. "A 5-year-old is left behind grieving. A mother is left behind grieving. This is an ongoing story and will be updated with new details when they arrive. An entire family is left behind to grieve, and we'll get through it with the grace of God. But we're going to continue to watch justice prevail," Butler's relative, Phyllis Brown, said. As details in the case continue to unfold, Butler's family confirmed to ABC13 that she was in a relationship with Allen, who is also the father of the unborn child. "My daughter lost her life because of someone's selfishness," Butler's mother, Anika Benjamin, said. "My family and I may have a little peace from it all, but it won't bring her back." Butler's 5-year-old child is now being raised by family. A motive was not immediately disclosed. Allen is expected in court on Monday. SEE ALSO: .
