On November 22, 2023, in Rendon, Texas, 84-year-old Bertha Bailey and her 60-year-old daughter Shari Bailey were fatally shot inside their home on Joalene Court. The Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office identified 25-year-old Kaitlyn Bailey — Bertha’s granddaughter and Shari’s daughter — as the primary suspect and described her as armed and dangerous during the manhunt that followed.

Kaitlyn Bailey was apprehended on November 24, 2023, and booked into the Tarrant County Jail on charges of murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, with bond set at $200,000. Records in the case note prior domestic-violence convictions: a 2016 guilty plea for assaulting a family member and a 2021 guilty plea for strangling her mother, Shari. Authorities have not announced a clear motive for the November shootings.

The community has been left grieving two family members described by relatives as two of the kindest souls. If anyone has information about the family, their interactions, or events leading up to November 22, please come forward.
