Texas Teen Murdered Weeks After Giving Birth, ‘On Again Off Again’ Boyfriend Arrested: ‘She Was So Happy to Be A Mother’
She had just found out her boyfriend was not the father
A 17-year-old Texas teen is accused of killing his teenage girlfriend who gave birth less than a month ago apparently after finding out he was not the father.
Ikea Hood, 17, was shot and killed in her home on Sunday.
Dallas Police Department arrested Trevon Wright on Tuesday after naming him earlier as a person of interest.
They have not revealed a motive for the shooting or details on how Wright and Hood knew each other, but WFAA-TV cited an affidavit reported the pair had been in a tumultuous two-year on-and-off relationship.
The news outlet reported that Hood planned to tell Wright he wasn’t the father of the baby the day she was killed. Wright previously thought the baby was his.
He is accused of shooting her in her locked bedroom, then escaping through the window.

Hood was a junior at Lancaster High School. She was a member of the school’s Tigerette Drill Team.

Hood left behind seven siblings.
Wright is being held at the Dallas County Jail on a murder charge. His bond is set at $500,000.
