DENTON – Police are trying to figure out why a 55-year-old woman was shot dead inside her own home overnight, and who took her car.

A relative found the victim’s body inside the house in the 2500 block of Kariba Lane around 10 p.m. Wednesday night, Denton detectives say. The relative immediately called 9-1-1.

The victim, whose name has not yet been released, is said to be a very private person who doesn’t spend much time talking to neighbors.

Police on the scene told FOX 4 that there are no signs of break-in or robbery at the house in southeast Denton. The body was discovered in a bedroom.

The woman’s silver 2007 Honda Fit is missing. It has a Texas license plate, 565-NGL. If you see this car anywhere, please call 9-1-1.

Denton police may release more information about this mysterious case later today. Stay with FOX 4 and myfoxdfw.com for further information.
