A Houston woman was murdered in her bed by her ex-boyfriend, who created a ruse to get her uncle out of her home for long enough to commit the act of violence. Ja’Dee Turner, 32, died just before 2:15 a.m. on Thursday, police told the Houston Chronicle, at the hands of her recent ex-boyfriend, Milton Wayne Cole, 40. Turner’s uncle, who lived at the residence, told police that, prior to the homicide, Cole had called and asked him to come to the gate of the complex so that Cole could give him some money, according to Houston CBS affiliate KHOU. Turner was asleep in her room and the uncle left the door unlocked as he headed out to the complex’s gate, not knowing that Cole was sitting in his car, watching, from inside the complex, according to Houston ABC affiliate KTRK. Cole then snuck into Turner’s apartment and shot the sleeping woman multiple times in the head, according to police. He subsequently turned the gun on himself. The uncle, not finding Cole at the gate with the promised money, returned to the apartment and went to check on Turner. He found both bodies and called police.
