An 87-year-old Texas woman has been found dead in her home from what police are calling "homicidal violence."
The discovery of Anita Daniels Thompson’s body in Dallas came a day after she reported that someone had tried to break into her home, according to KDFW.
Dallas Police, as of Wednesday, have yet to release the names of any suspects or explain how Thompson was killed.

"I asked her was she okay. She says, ‘I’m fine. I’m doing okay. I got the door replaced,’" Hanks said. "I said, ‘Well just call me if you need anything.’ She said, ‘I will.’ And that’s the last time I talked to her."
Thompson is survived by her daughter, the station adds.
