A tragedy in Dallas earlier this week left four people killed and four others injured. As I reported yesterday, former NBA cheerleader Erbie Bowser was looking for his former girlfriend.

He was a part of the ManiAACs who performed during Dallas Mavericks home games.

According to New York Daily News, police confirmed that his ex-girlfriend Toya Smith and her 17-year-old daughter, Tasmia Allen, were among the casualties.

Bowser is in custody after the shooting in DeSoto, a Dallas suburb. He first went to a home in Dallas where he thought he would track down Smith. He shot four people there, killing two of them.

As he got to the DeSoto residence, he first threw explosives inside then broke down the door and opened fire.

The woman's 14-year-old son, Storm Malone, was among those injured during the incident. One of her daughter's 17-year-old friends was also taken to a hospital.
