Dallas (WBAP/KLIF) – Dallas Police officers were called Friday afternoon to a Cockrell Hill home to investigate a report of an abandoned child. What they uncovered was a matricide. The officers were told a two year old child had been dropped off at her great-grandparent’s home by an unknown person. The child was supposed to be with her grandmother, so the great-grandparents were concerned for the well being of that grandmother. When police went to the grandmother’s home, they found her dead on the floor from a gunshot wound to the head. Through the course of the investigation it was determined that the victim’s 15 year old son had killed her, stolen her car, and taken the child to the great-grandparent’s home after murdering his mother. Police found him hiding at a friend’s home. He was arrested, and reportedly has made a full confession. He will not be publicly identified, but he will be charged with Capital Murder.
