Blunt force trauma and the use of a sharp instrument, that's how medical examiners say Tammy Cooper and her children were killed. While the public is aware of the quadruple homicide, there is still someone very close to the family who isn't.
New information has been released on Tuesday evening about a man who visited a family of four before they were brutally murdered. The bodies of 11-year-old Mahogany Jasmine Allen, 9-year-old twins Kadiece and Kasheim Allen, and their mother, 45-year-old Tammy Cooper were found Monday morning at the Windcrest Estacado Apartments at 512 North MLK Boulevard.
Police say a black man who came to the apartment around 11 Sunday evening knew or had a relationship with the mother. Police say they just want to question him. At this time police have stretched their investigation to the Metroplex since the family moved to Lubbock from Dallas not long ago. Lubbock Police have news stories running on the Dallas telvision stations to help them with their investigation.
Police say the autopsies should be finished by Tuesday evening, we still do not know what type of murder weapon was used until the reports come back from the medical examiners office.
