DALLAS — The Dallas Police Department (DPD) says a suspect shot and killed a woman before turning the gun on themselves Wednesday night.
Around 8:40 p.m., officers were called to the 2300 block of Prichard Lane in response to a shooting.
When officers arrived on scene, they found the victim, 28-year-old Angelica Hinojosa, and the suspect, who has not been identified, with a gunshot wound.
Dallas Fire-Rescue (DFR) responded and pronounced Hinojosa and the suspect dead, police said.
According to the preliminary investigation, Dallas police said the suspect suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound after shooting Hinojosa.
The department has not released a motive in the crime, but police said the suspect and Hinojosa knew each other.
Dallas police said the suspect’s name is not being released until next of kin notifications have been made.
The investigation is ongoing. Police are asking anyone with information to call Detective Kofi Sapon-Amoah at 214-671-3657 or email at kofi.sapon-amoah@dallaspolice.gov.
The family of Hinojosa has created a GoFundMe account to help pay for funeral expenses. If you would like to donate, click here.
