A 16-year-old Texas girl has been accused of shooting and killing her own mother in Galveston on Thursday evening.

The Galveston Police Department said officers arrived to a home in the 5100 block of Avenue Q shortly before 8 p.m. after receiving a complaint that someone had been shot multiple times.

Officers arrived and located 34-year-old Tiamoya Moore, also known as Deshondra Moore, and carried her to the UTMB emergency room, where she was pronounced dead, according to officials.

According to ABC13, authorities also discovered a weapon.

‘She was screaming. She was screaming. And I hear, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,’ neighbor Gracela Molina told KHOU 11 after Tiamoya Moore was shot on Avenue Q near 52nd St.

Witnesses told officers that the shooter was the victim’s teen daughter, who was not at the scene and who had fled by foot, investigators said.

According to police, as officials were processing the scene, the teen returned to the home and was taken into custody without incident. The girl’s name was not released on account of the suspect being a juvenile.

Molina said she wasn’t aware of any previous issues with the family.

Tiamoya Moore described as ‘loving mother’

Another neighbor said the same thing.

‘It’s quiet. It’s calm. No problems,’ Isaul Marines told KHOU. ‘I was in the kitchen when I heard the shots, and we come out and then all the police cars.’

The mother of the victim told KHOU 11 she was home at the time of the shooting and heard the gunshots, but it was a total surprise to her.

She described her daughter as a loving mother, telling the outlet that she wants to know why her granddaughter could have done something like this.

The teen upon being taken into custody was later charged with murder according to the Galveston Daily News.

She is now being held at the Jerry J. Esmond Juvenile Justice Center.

An investigation is underway.
