Dallas Mom & Toddler Death Ruled Murder-Suicide

A mother and her 2-year-old daughter were found dead early on Wednesday inside of an apartment in the Red Bird area of Dallas. Police are now calling it a murder-suicide.

Authorities and paramedics were called to the scene in the 3900 block of Investor Drive shortly after midnight. When they arrived, they found the two dead from gunshot wounds in a top-floor apartment unit.

Detectives were called out to investigate, and spent about 4 hours at the location. However, the details surrounding the two deaths were not released until later in the morning.

The Dallas Police Department released a statement which called this a case of murder-suicide.

The names of the victims have not yet been released by officials.

Loved ones have been informed about the deaths, but family members were not immediately sure what happened to the 28-year-old mom and her daughter and it was initially wondered if this could have been a double murder.

At the scene early Wednesday morning, the girl’s grandmother said, “They didn’t deserve this.”
