A Texas mom says she was watching a movie with her children in bed when an ex-boyfriend showed up to demand a TV he believed was his, according to local reports.

Jeremiah Jones, 22, ripped the TV from the wall and then demanded his ex-girlfriend turn over her phone, according to court documents obtained by KPRC. Mother Brittany Sorrells says he was accusing her of dating someone else.

Sorrells reported giving him her phone as they argued in the front of her Houston apartment, KTRK reported. Then, she says, he went to the back bedroom where her children were.

The 29-year-old mom says she heard two gunshots before Jones left the bedroom, according to the Houston TV station.

Jones is accused of forcing the mom onto the ground at gunpoint before shooting her in the shoulder, KHOU reported. He drove away as she ran into the bedroom.

She found her daughter, 9-year-old Khylie Sorrells, shot in the head, KTRK reported. The child had been “executed,” police told KPRC.
