A 34-year-old woman has been charged with murder after she allegedly gunned down her ex-boyfriend in a crazed attack outside a gym.

Veronica Erin Staley, 34, was taken into custody in Houston, Texas, on Wednesday morning after she allegedly shot telecommunications executive Aljosa Memovic, 30, multiple times.

According to police, Staley had been waiting for him outside the One 2 One Training Center for an hour when she noticed him leave.

She then walked up to him and is accused of shooting him three times near the entrance.

According to police, Staley (pictured) had been waiting for him outside the One 2 One Training Center in north west Houston for an hour when she noticed her ex-boyrfriend leave

The gunshots didn't force him to collapse, so he ran across the parking lot screaming: 'Oh my God, oh my God.'

Staley is accused of following him and shooting him twice more. Realizing she had run out of bullets, she allegedly pistol-whipped him.

As Memovic's lifeless body lay on the ground, she ran to her car and sped off.

A witness in the parking lot captured her in video on his cell phone as she sprinted between the cars to her vehicle.

Staley was arrested a day later at one of her relative's homes.

She then admitted to her role in Memovic's death, Click 2 Houston reported.

Sgt. Matthew Brady, of the Houston Police Department's homicide division, told the station: 'She immediately pulls out a gun and fires on him, at least three shots.

'He starts to run across the parking lot behind us. She chases him with gun in hand.'

Memovic was then taken to hospital, but died during surgery.
