Dallas, Texas - On Friday, Dallas police responded to a child abandonment call at the 1200 block of McLean Ave. around 4:34p.m. and later on a welfare check assignment discovered a homicide female victim at the 4700 block of Lynnacre Drive. Police identified the deceased victim on Lynnacre Drive as Aime Salinas-Alvarado, 47, who died from a single gunshot wound to the head.

The homicide investigation led to the arrest of her 15-year-old son who was later taken into custody at a friend's house.

According to the criminal complaint, an unknown individual had dropped off a 2-year-old girl at her great-grandparents home and left. One of the great-grandparents then called police and reported a 2-year-old child had been abandoned and were worried about her grandmother who was supposed to be taking care of her at the 4700 block of Lynnacre Drive. When police went to the home at Lynnarce Drive, they found the body of Salinas-Alvarado. Salinas-Alvarado's husband is Mario Salinas.

Salinas-Alvarado's 15-year-old son was identified only as Junior by a sibling on Sunday in social media. He was taken into custody shortly after the homicide, Jr confessed to fatally shooting his own mother. No motive was released by police at the moment.

Through the course of the investigation, police determined that the victim's 15-year-old juvenile son had shot and killed her and took the child to the great-grandparent's home after committing the homicide offense. The juvenile suspect took the victim's vehicle and went to a friend's home. The juvenile suspect was taken into custody by Dallas Police officers without incident and provided a full confession to the Homicide detective. He was arrested and transported to Henry Wade Juvenile Detention Facility and will be charged with Capital Murder, according to the Dallas police criminal complaint.
