Police Arrest Man For Murder Of Cedar Hill Woman

CEDAR HILL (CBS 11 / TXA 21) ― An arrest has been made in the murder of an elderly Cedar Hill woman.

Theron Lacy Junior is now in jail, charged with capital murder. He stands accused of killing Dorothy Reiter.

Reiter, a 67-year-old Cedar Hill woman was found lying in the street near her home last Tuesday morning. Investigators say Reiter was out for her daily walk when she was attacked, robbed, and stabbed.

"Crimes like this aren't supposed to happen in peaceful neighborhoods like ours. Our community was truly shocked and saddened for the family and friends of Ms. Reiter," said Cedar Hill Mayor Rob Franke.

Lacy, a 27-year-old also from Cedar hill, was arrested last Friday on a robbery warrant. After an extensive investigation, he was charged with capital murder. Police expect his bond will be set at $1 million.

According to records, Lacy has previously been arrested for evading arrest, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault causing seriously bodily injury.

Police say a tip from a concerned citizen helped police make the arrest. A $10,000 award will be given to the anonymous citizen.
