83-year-old charged with 78-year-old ex-girlfriend’s murder, North Texas police say
An 83-year-old man is in custody after he fatally shot his 78-year-old ex-girlfriend during an argument at her Rowlett home Saturday evening, police said.
Officers responded to the 8500 block of Seafield Lane shortly before 7 p.m. regarding an unconscious person, according to a Rowlett Police Department news release. They found a woman who had been shot.
The victim, identified as Sharon Radebaugh, was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.
After an investigation, police determined the shooting was a result of a previous relationship. They arrested Elliott Wilson in Trinity County on Sunday evening, according to the release. Wilson told police he had confronted Radebaugh about a new relationship she was in and then shot her.
The case will be filed with the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office, officials said. A Trinity County Justice of the Peace arraigned Wilson on a murder charge Sunday and set his bond at $1 million.
