Text M for Murder: Judge Killed By Husband Who Then Texts Son With News Before Killing Himself

In Rowlett, Texas, Juvenile Judge Belinda Loveland, 52, was shot and killed by her husband Richard Loveland, 59. Richard then texted his son, a doctor in Galveston, with the message “I think I just killed your mother.” According to police, he then shot himself.

Dr. Dustin Loveland received a message around 5 p.m: “I don’t know how to tell you this,” the message said, “but I think I just killed your mother.” He called the police immediately.

Judge Loveland was much loved and respected. She founded Camp ROCK, a mentoring program for junior high students. Kids were waiting for Loveland to arrive at Bowl-a-Rama Monday when the news came out that she had been murdered by her husband in a murder-suicide.

One can hardly imagine the feelings and pain of Dr. Loveland in not just losing one’s parents on the same day but to do so in a murder-suicide.
