Oak Cliff, TX: Woman shot and killed at Oak Cliff bus stop; ex-husband tracked to nearby home

A woman was shot and killed on an Oak Cliff street Friday morning, and police suspect her ex-husband was the gunman.
The shooting happened shortly after 7 a.m. at Cockrell Hill Road and Illinois Avenue where the man and woman got into an argument in a car.
The victim jumped out at a bus stop, and her ex-husband followed and shot her, homicide Lt. David Pughes said. He said the shooting was witnessed by more than a dozen people on two DART buses.
Police said the suspect left the car in gear when he jumped out, and it rolled into a taco shop down the street, damaging the business.
The suspect abandoned the car and fled on foot before carjacking another vehicle and driving to his home about a mile away.
Officers have surrounded the home in the 5200 block of Tato Road, near Loop 12 and Illinois.
Neither the victim nor the suspect had been identified.
