Investigation Report
Police talked to multiple witnesses, one of whom who said they heard shots while outside the building, heard a woman scream “oh my God,” and then saw a woman walking back and forth on a balcony.
The witness said the woman appeared to be holding a phone and gun, but that they didn’t know weapons well and didn’t want to “fully commit” to what the woman was holding.
According to court documents, when officers arrived at the apartment, they saw the defendant, identified as Dix, kneeling at the victim’s feet with her right hand raised and her left hand between her legs. Officers noticed that the defendant was holding a handgun, and asked to her drop the weapon, at which point she complied, the documents stated.
While on scene, officers heard a voice and saw that a cell phone was connected to a call on speaker phone. Officers picked up the phone and talked to the person on the other line who identified herself as Dix’s mother, the court documents stated.
