Dallas Police Searching For Suspect In Murder Of Jacqueline Hughes
DALLAS (1080 KRLD) - Police are searching for a suspect they say killed a woman and left her body in a garage.
Brandon Charles Sampson, 31, is wanted in Jacqueline Hughes' disappearance and death. Hughes' body was found last week in a home near Paul Quinn College on the city's southeast side.
A friend told police she dropped Hughes off at that home on Christmas Day and that was the last anyone heard or saw from her. Hughes' friends and family confronted Sampson at that home on multiple occasions. One of those times, he told them he dropped her off at the airport so she could catch a flight to Miami for a modeling job, according to court papers. During another confrontation, police said Hughes' brother shot and hurt someone inside the home.
Police brought Sampson in for questioning, but not as a suspect. They wanted to talk to him about the shooting. Hughes' brother was arrested and charged with aggravated assault.
Detectives shifted their focus to Sampson after a suspicious Facebook comment from an account that appeared to belong to him. It said: "she gone stop looking." That was enough for police to get a warrant and search the home.
Police said they've not been able to find Sampson since they turned him loose.
