A 65-year-old woman is accused of fatally shooting a mother and daughter she’s had ongoing issues with during a fight inside her apartment, according to an arrest-warrant affidavit.
Doris Walker was booked into the Dallas County jail Wednesday on a capital murder of multiple persons charge.
Officers found 17-year-old Drenesia Willis and 40-year-old Lanesaia Pinkard unresponsive with gunshot wounds shortly before 8 p.m. Tuesday in an apartment in the 3000 block of South Boulevard, near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, police said.
Both women were taken to the hospital where they died.
Walker was at the apartment when officers arrived and took her into custody.
An officer wrote in the affidavit that Walker told police she’s had issues with Pinkard, saying Pinkard’s son has been involved in multiple shootings at the apartment complex.
Walker said she called 911 multiple times to report threats from Pinkard and Willis, including twice the same day of the deadly shooting. Walker said Willis was allegedly involved in a fight with a fourth woman shortly before the shooting, the affidavit says. After the fight, the woman went into Walker’s apartment.
Willis called Pinkard to come to the location and once she arrived they went to Walker’s apartment.
Walker told police she was standing in her doorway and told Willis and Pinkard not to enter but they “forced” their way in and began assaulting the fourth woman, according to the affidavit.
Walker said the women never physically attacked her and though she believed Pinkard had a gun, she never saw one, an officer wrote in the report.
Walker told police, according to the affidavit, that she shot Willis as she was attempting to leave the apartment then shot Pinkard.
A large crowd had formed nearby as the incident was occurring.
While searching the apartment, police were able to find fired cartridges but did not locate the gun used in the shooting.
Walker told police she didn’t remember where she put it and someone may have taken it, according to the affidavit.
Walker remained jailed Thursday morning on a $500,000 bond, records show.
