A Texas teen girl was shot dead when she looked out a window upon hearing a disturbance outside her apartment, according to officials.
Police said a gunman fatally shot Nequacia Jacobs, 18, and wounded her 16-year-old sister Saturday afternoon at a Dallas apartment complex, news station KDFW reported.
The teen sisters were reportedly in their second-floor apartment when they heard noise outside.
When they went to the window, a shooter in a black hoodie fired at them several times from the ground, striking the older sister in the torso and younger in the back, police said.
Witnesses said they heard screams for help after three to five shots were fired, according to KDFW.
Following the gunfire, the injured 16-year-old reportedly ran downstairs to get aid for her sister.
“She was trying to explain that her sister is not moving at the time, that someone needs to call an ambulance or get some help upstairs as soon as possible, that her sister got shot, her sister’s not breathing,” Sharon Scott, a neighbor, told KDFW.
Both sisters were taken to the hospital, where the older one was pronounced dead, news station KXAS reported. Doctors said the 16-year-old sister sustained non-life threatening injuries.
Police are searching for the suspect who was seen arriving at the crime scene in a white Dodge Charger with tinted windows.
