Woman Shot to Death in Texas Parking Lot in Dispute Over the Words ‘Thank You’
A 41-year-old woman was shot to death Tuesday outside a Dallas shopping center after an argument over the words “thank you,” police said.
Officers responded around 1:00 p.m. to the 2500 block of West Wheatland Road, where they found a woman with multiple gunshot wounds.
Dallas Fire-Rescue transported her to Methodist Central Hospital, where she later died.
The victim was identified as Cecilia Simpson, according to the Dallas Police Department.
The suspect, Keona Hampton, 22, fled the scene before officers arrived but was arrested later that evening.
She is charged with murder and remains in the Dallas County Jail.
Investigators said the confrontation began after Simpson held the door open for Hampton while leaving a Five Below store and became upset when Hampton didn’t say “thank you,” according to WFAA.
