Macy Poole is alleged to have shot her 21-year-old sister, Tessa Poole, who was taken to Rapides Regional Medical Center in Alexandria following the shooting.

Kelly said Tessa Poole was pronounced dead Monday morning at the hospital.

“Two of my detectives are viewing the autopsy reports right now and investigating the case,” Kelly said. “It’s not a matter of whodunit, but more trying to get answers as to the why behind the shooting.”
