LOS ANGELES – A woman and her boyfriend were charged Thursday with the murder of her stepsister, who was found dead last month near state Route 138 in northern Los Angeles County.<\/span><\/p>\n

Britney Sue Humphrey<\/strong>, 22, and Joshua Aaron Robertson<\/strong>, 27, are charged in the death of 26-year-old Kimberly Harvill<\/strong> and were previously charged with kidnapping the victim’s three young children.<\/span><\/p>\n

Harvill’s unidentified body was found Aug. 14 in some brush by a motorist traveling along Gorman Post Road, north of State Route 138. She had been shot in the upper body, the sheriff’s department reported.<\/span><\/p>\n

Authorities held a news conference to help identify her, then later held another news conference for help in locating her three young children. <\/span><\/p>\n

Humphrey and Robertson were arrested Aug. 25 in Pueblo, Colorado, one day after Harvill’s three young children — ages 2, 3 and 5 — were found safe in a motel outside Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the care of a good Samaritan who notified local law enforcement.<\/span><\/p>\n

The newly amended criminal complaint alleges that Robertson shot Harvill with a handgun. Along with the just-filed murder charge, he is charged with a felony count of possession of a firearm by a felon with two priors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Robertson is scheduled to be arraigned Friday in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom. Humphrey has not yet been sent to Los Angeles County from Colorado.<\/span><\/p>\n

The criminal complaint alleges Robertson was convicted in Fresno County in 2014 of being a felon in possession of a firearm and evading a pursuing peace officer. He was on post-release community supervision, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.<\/span><\/p>\n

If convicted, Robertson and Humphrey could each face up to life in state prison, according to the District Attorney’s Office.<\/span><\/p>\n
