Oklahoma authorities have charged a woman with murder in connection with her 72-year-old mother's September suicide.

Jaye Dee Watts, 44, is charged with kidnapping and felony murder by caretaker abuse after she "intentionally provided a firearm to the victim which prompted the victim to take her own life," Oklahoma City police said in a press release.

Officers initially arrested Watts in September after locating her mother, Lynda Watts, deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at her residence on Blue Quail Drive on Sept. 10.
