Former Dallas Mavericks ManiAAC dancer and special education tecaher Erbie Bowser waas charged of killing four people and injuring another four in Dallas and DeSoto. 

According to KHOU, Bowser was arrested Thursday morning after allegedly killing his ex-girlfriend, 43-year old Toya Smith, and her 17-year old daughter Tasmia Allen. He was also charged with the death of his estranged wife Zina Teal-Bowser and her friend, Neima Williams.

According to Dallas Police spokesman Jeff Cotner, Smith's mother, Lurlean, called 911 after she found her daughter and granddaughter dead in their home.

Cotner said Toya was on the phone with her mother before the incident happened. Worried, her mom tried to call her back but no one answered. Lurlean then drove to the house and saw the victims - she found her daughter and granddaughter dead, while her grandson, 14-year old Storm Malone, and an unidentified family friend were injured. Toya was assumed to have been shot after the first phone call.

The Dallas Police Department was called to the scene at around 10:30 PM, ABC News reported.

Reports say after the initial shooting incident in Dallas, Bowser drove to DeSoto and allegedly tossed an explosive device into the home of his estranged wife, Teal-Bowser. After the explosion, the suspect entered the home and shot dead his wife and her friend, Williams.

Teal-Bowser's children, 8-year old Miles White and 13-year old Chris White, were injured, while a 3-year-old boy was left unharmed. The boy is now under the custody of Child Protective Services.

According to ABC News, Bowser pretended to be one of the victims when Dallas Police came to the scene. However, recent reports from CBS News say that Bowser has already been charged with capital murder.
