Texas woman dies, 2 children wounded in family shooting
MESQUITE, Texas—A suburban Dallas mother was killed and two of her children were hospitalized Wednesday after a shooting at their home, police said. A man believed to be the woman’s husband or ex-husband was taken into custody when he drove up to the house as paramedics were working the scene, said Mesquite police Lt. Steve Callarman.
Callarman said authorities expected to file capital murder charges against 29-year-old Michael Ray Turner, believed to be the father of at least one of the children. The woman, 31-year-old Moniquedushi Sheppard Turner, died at a hospital about an hour and a half after the 6:30 a.m. shooting, Callarman said. Her 7-year-old daughter, Najye Heath, and 11-year-old son, Michael Turner Jr., were out of surgery and in stable condition Wednesday afternoon, Callarman said.
