Monday afternoon, a mother and daughter were gunned down in what police are calling a domestic situation that took place in the 2700 block of Millmar Drive. Police say they have identified the suspect, a man known to both women, but have not taken him into custody or identified him.
NBCDFW.com is reporting that the two women, a mother and her adult daughter, lived with a man who asked them to leave his East Dallas home. An argument ensued, and the man’s grandson allegedly shot and killed the two women before fleeing the scene.
Police are not identifying the victims pending notification of their family. The Advocate will post more on this story as details become available.
It was a bloody day in East Dallas. Earlier on Oct. 12, a man was fatally stabbed on the White Rock Creek Trail by a machete-wielding assailant, who police quickly caught. In an unrelated case minutes later, the body of 18-year-old Zoe Hastings, a Booker T. Washington graduate, was found in her van crashed into a creek. Police say she died of “homicidal violence.”
