Tarrant grand jury hands up capital murder indictment in Grand Prairie stabbing deaths

A Tarrant County grand jury on Wednesday indicted a woman who authorities allege stabbed a mother and her daughter to death in Grand Prairie in October.

Jillian Johnson, 41, was indicted on a capital murder of multiple persons charge in the killings of Gloria Booker, 53, and Booker’s mother, Gloria Prince, 71, on Oct. 25.

Booker and Prince were at their residence in the 2500 block of Riverside Parkway when Johnson arrived and an argument over Johnson’s relationship with another relative began, Grand Prairie police have said. The argument led to a physical fight and the killings.

The case is being heard in 371st District Court.
