Murder-Suicide: Dallas Mother Kills 8-year-old Daughter & Self, 12yo Son Spared

[Sugar Cookie]

A Dallas woman and her 8-year-old daughter were found dead Monday after an hours-long police standoff.

Dallas police said a man and a woman got into an argument just after midnight at their home in the Red Bird area. The mother killed her little girl and then herself during a police standoff.

Police have not yet released the names of the victims, but neighbors say they'd seen the family Sunday evening and nothing appeared to be wrong.

SKY 4 was over Highcrest Drive Monday morning at the scene of a SWAT standoff that started overnight.

Dallas Police Chief Renee Hall was on scene and addressed the media herself.

“When they arrived, they encountered a black male victim who stated that he and his wife had had an altercation,” Hall said. “And as a result, she grabbed a firearm and fired several shots.”

Hall says the man ran out of the house, but the 35-year-old woman barricaded herself inside with their 12-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter.

“After several hours of negotiation one of the individuals, the 12-year-old boy, was able to get away from the location,” Hall said. “However, the 8-year-old girl was still inside.”

Hall says SWAT officers entered the home and attempted negotiating with the woman, but she fired several rounds and grazed an officer.

Officers retreated and tried to negotiate again. But a short while later, they heard two gunshots. Police found the woman and her little girl dead.

Police said the 12-year-old son made it out of the home safely. They did not give any details on if he was released or able to escape on his own.

The mother who’s suspected of killing herself and her 9-year-old daughter during an hours-long SWAT standoff had a history of aggressive behavior, according to her ex-husband, Noland Metoyer.

Police identified the woman as Alexica Shaunta Stevenson-Gates. The Dallas County medical examiner said Tuesday that Stevenson-Gates was 34 years old. Police did not release any new details about the case.

Noland Metoyer said Stevenson-Gates had a history of aggressive behavior, and court documents show she faced at least two assault charges in Dallas County.

In 2005, Stevenson-Gates was faced with an assault charge and was required to attend anger management classes, according to court documents.

In 2014, she was charged with assault causing injury to a family member after a fight with her boyfriend of two years ended with bloody scratches on his face and neck, according to an affidavit.

Both cases were dismissed.

Despite Stevenson-Gates’ history of violence, Noland said he was shocked by the deaths.

“I just can’t believe it,” he said. “I don’t even want to think about the last thing my daughter was thinking.”

Noland and Stevenson-Gates separated shortly after their daughter was born in 2010, but he said he remained in contact with Stevenson-Gates for the girl’s sake.

He said he last saw his daughter about four months ago, right before the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

Metoyer, who lives in Louisiana, said he spoke to Miloni every two to three days through video chats. In a Facebook post, he wrote that Miloni gave him the best years of his life.

“Miloni was always happy to see me, and she always smiled,” he said. “Some days I’d talk to her for a little while and she’d be playing with her toys, and I’d just let her play with her toys.”

Metoyer said his daughter was well-mannered and smart, qualities he noticed every time they spoke. He credits Stevenson-Gates for raising her that way.

“That was one thing she did,” he said. “She educated them.”

Child Protective Services has said there was no history of child abuse allegations involving Miloni or the 12-year-old boy. On Tuesday, CPS confirmed that the boy would be released to a family member.

Miloni is Metoyer’s only biological daughter, but he said that he also is the legal father of the boy and that he is traveling from New Orleans to pick him up.

Metoyer said he’s listed as the father on the birth certificate because the boy’s father died while Stevenson-Gates was pregnant. But Metoyer never knew the boy as he was growing up — he said Stevenson-Gates had allowed him only to call Miloni.

In what he calls a bittersweet situation, he now has time to connect with the boy, Metoyer said.


“He survived, and I know he needs me,” he said. “I don’t want him to feel regret that he didn’t bring his sister with him.”
