(November 11, 2008) - Police in Dallas say it appears a Lacy-Lakeview man shot and killed his estranged wife and her mother before killing himself in far east Dallas.

Police believe it happened sometime between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Tuesday.

Police say 26-year-old Keith Lewis Hill of Lacy Lakeview was dead in the house with a rifle nearby.

There were no signs of forced entry.

Janice Hill and her 52-year-old mother, Jeanne Carroll, were also dead.

Hill’s grandmother was also in the house, but slept through the shootings because she is hard of hearing.

In an exclusive interview with News 10, Hill's sister, Sherrie Bonilla said family members aren’t sure what went wrong.

"He was just a good guy, he had a lot going for him. He felt he had to go to that and I suppose, but we're just really hurt. We don't have any answers."

Hill was arrested last month on a domestic violence charge in Grand Prairie, police said.

Janice Hill sought an emergency restraining order against the man about two weeks ago.

Hill’s grandmother found the bodies.

Victoria I wish it had been me who he had taken with him. Does that make it any better? David he may have towered over her but he loved her to the very end & you have your facts wrong about the shooting. To the rest of you who think I am seeking pity, no I am seeking answers as you are too. And I cry for them all daily and wish it had been me instead. Then you all would be happy. Appalled, yes we are his relatives he was born at 1:48am weighing 9.8lbs want a dna test for proof? Hateful heartless jerks. I loved my son as much as you cared for your side.I dont see it as taking sides, if the Carrolls see this I am as broken as you, this was something we didnt see comming and we too loved Janice. My prayers are with you too. Donna

Do you really think these people are Keith's relatives? Would you be blogging at a time like this? I think some people don't have anything better to do than stir up trouble.

Wow, I cannot believe these comments; many of you are flat crazy. I knew Janice very well. First you say she abused him (he towed over her!). Second you say he was a great guy. I usually don't call people great guys who shoot one of my friends in the head twice and end her life. Then just for kicks he shoots her mom in the head and kills her too. For a moment, I believe the Hill family needs to stop this pity party and wake up to the reality that their family member is a cold killer and a coward at that. A coward to kill defenseless people and then kill himself. These messages are sick, sick sick to defend this situation from the Hill point of view.
