Police in Texas have made an arrest in connection to the murder of a UK graduate.
Early Saturday morning officers announced that they arrested a woman in connection to the crime.
Police say the victim, a dentist named Kendra Hatcher, was gunned down as she stepped out of her car in the parking garage of her uptown Dallas high rise. Authorities say when they arrived at the scene they found the victim deceased. Officers in Dallas say Crystal Cortez, 22, admitted to borrowing a man’s Jeep Cherokee and driving another man to rob Kendra Hatcher at her home. That man who owned the Jeep contacted police after he saw photos of his vehicle on the news. The warrant states that Cortez was allegedly paid $500 to drive an unnamed man to rob Hatcher. When they arrived at the scene, the man got out of the vehicle and shot Hatcher, then took several items from her.
