An 87-year-old Texas woman was found dead of "homicidal violence" after previously reporting a break-in attempt the day before, according to NBCDFW.
Anita Daniel Thompson was known and loved by her neighbors, who held a vigil in her honor that was live-streamed on Facebook.
The suspect was identified as 58-year-old Andre Stefan Buggs, who turned himself in this past Sunday (July 11th, 2021). He's now in Dallas County Jail facing a murder charge. His potential motive is currently unknown. What is known is that Andre is 6'3" and over 200 pounds, so if he murdered Anita, it must have been quite easy for him to overpower a woman so advanced in years. Perhaps that's what makes this feel so particularly despicable.
