Doneisha Brooks, 39, was found shot to death alongside her 8-year-old daughter, Olivia, and her cousin, 34-year-old Alonzo Hawkins inside an apartment on the 300 block of Luther Drive in Georgetown, Texas, on the evening of Saturday, September 13, 2025. Officers responding to a 7:26 p.m. call discovered all three had been shot multiple times. Investigators said the crime did not appear random and that the victims likely knew the assailant.

Police agencies including the Texas Rangers and the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office assisted Georgetown detectives as they worked interviews and surveillance leads. Local reporting describes a quiet apartment community stunned by the violence and family members speaking publicly about their grief; a memorial fundraiser circulated as relatives prepared for the funerals. Authorities announced the arrest of 26-year-old Raul Franco Jr., identified as the son of Brooks’ roommate, who was charged with capital murder in connection with the killings. Officials said there was no ongoing threat to the public.

The case raises the question of motive given the reported connection between the suspect and the household; anyone with information about the apartment or who knew the victims is urged to come forward.
