80-year-old woman gunned down by another woman at Dallas home, police say

In Dallas early Sunday morning, tragedy struck as an 80-year-old woman lost her life in a shooting incident, leading to the arrest of another woman.

Dallas Police Department reported that 30-year-old Kelsie Miles has been charged with murder in connection with the shooting death of 80-year-old Betty Hearn.

The fatal incident occurred at approximately 5:10 a.m. in the 4700 block of Colwick Avenue.

Grand Prairie Police Department disclosed that Miles voluntarily visited their station headquarters and confessed to shooting another woman in Dallas.

Upon receiving the information from Grand Prairie Police, Dallas Police officers proceeded to the mentioned residence for a welfare check. After unsuccessful attempts to elicit a response from inside, they made forced entry.

Upon entry, law enforcement discovered Hearn lying unresponsive on the floor, having sustained an apparent gunshot wound.

Despite the prompt arrival of Dallas Fire-Rescue personnel, their efforts to save Hearn’s life were in vain, and she was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Following her arrest by Grand Prairie officers, Miles was transported to Dallas Police Headquarters. She has since been booked into the Dallas County Jail on a charge of murder, with her bond set at $750,000.

The tragic shooting incident remains under active investigation by authorities.
