Retired teacher found shot to death in apartment at senior living community
HOUSTON (KTRK) - Family members and neighbors are demanding answers after police say a 74-year-old woman was found shot to death in her apartment at a Houston senior living community.
Police say 74-year-old Carol Webber, a retired teacher, was found shot to death at 2:30 p.m. Saturday on the floor of her apartment at the Treemont Senior Living Community in Houston. There are no suspects or a motive.
One of Webber’s neighbors says the 74-year-old mentioned someone knocking on her door during late hours, and several other neighbors reportedly experienced the same thing.
With no arrest in the case, residents and their families are demanding answers, and they say Treemont’s management isn’t providing them. They also allege management did not notify them of the shooting and should be more transparent moving forward.
Brandy Demeris’ mother lives at the community
“If there was actually a shooting here and they are aware of it, which they would have to be, I am incredibly upset and would consider moving my mother, hearing that they wouldn’t let families know or the residents,” Demeris said.
She worries Webber’s death could be “completely swept under the rug.”
According to the victim’s family, Webber’s siblings haven’t spoken to her in years, but they also want answers about how this could have happened.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Houston Police Department Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers.
