Stephanie Easter, 58, was found with an apparent gunshot wound inside a home on the 100 block of Ridge Oak Drive in Red Oak, Texas, on the morning of May 25, 2025. Deputies with the Ellis County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched around 12:05 p.m.; she was pronounced dead at the scene and investigators opened a homicide inquiry as the neighborhood filled with squad cars and crime-scene tape.

By the next day authorities said evidence at the scene pointed to a single suspect: Stephanie’s 20-year-old biological son, Dwight Xavier Jones Jr. He was taken into custody without incident and booked into the Wayne McCollum Detention Center, facing a murder charge. Officials did not immediately release a possible motive and said the investigation remained active.
