The state is probing the Saturday night shooting death of an Effingham County woman in her home.

Nova Jill Saffles, 39, was slain inside her home at 404 North Maple St. in Springfield, said Georgia Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Cyrus Purdiman in a news release.

Springfield police asked the GBI to help with the investigation.

The shooting appears to be the result of a domestic dispute between Saffles and her 52 year-old boyfriend, Louis Vendrell Larges, Purdiman said. After the shooting, Larges was arrested during a traffic stop by deputy sheriffs. He was taken to the Effingham County jail pending murder charges, Purdiman said.

The investigation is in its preliminary stage and is still ongoing.

An autopsy of Saffles’ body will be conducted by the GBI.

Investigators ask anyone with information that could help them to call GBI Statesboro at 912-871-1121, or the Springfield Police Department at 912-54-3061.
