ROWLETT, Texas (TCD) — An 83-year-old man stands accused of fatally shooting a 78-year-old woman over a fight they had regarding her new relationship.
According to a news release from the Rowlett Police Department, on Saturday, June 3, at approximately 6:50 p.m., officers responded to the 8500 block of Seafield Lane to a report of an unconscious person. At the scene, officers found Sharon Radebaugh suffering from a fatal gunshot wound inside her home. Officials pronounced her dead at the scene.
Police identified Wilson Elliott of Trinity, Texas, as the primary suspect.
