A Texas woman is dead after being shot in an alleged carjacking while visiting her cancer-stricken best friend. Marietta Allison traveled from Austin to Houston to accompany friend Cassie Daniel to her second treatment for stage 4 ovarian cancer on Saturday, March 7.
Following a day at the hospital in which Allison took care of Daniel as she received a round of chemotherapy, the pair of friends left around 10:30 p.m. to spend the night at a nearby friend’s house. When there was no parking at the building, Allison dropped Daniel and her father off and circled the block to find somewhere to leave the car. REPEAT OFFENDER WITH 20-PLUS PRIOR CHARGES ALLEGEDLY KILLS 23-YEAR-OLD IN HIT-AND-RUN, THEN WALKS AWAY 'We were putting our things away, and I heard a scream and then a gunshot,' Daniel told Fox News Digital. 'I felt like something large dropped to the floor, and I was like, ‘Was that a gunshot?’' When Daniel realized Allison had not returned from parking the car, she began to worry. 'I stepped out into the living room and told my friends, ‘Was that a gunshot?’' Daniel said. 'She was like, ‘Have you heard from Marietta?’ and I said no. And my friend said, ‘Well, I just tried to call her, and she didn't answer.’' Feeling as though something was wrong, Daniel went to the last known location of Allison’s phone, where she found Allison lying on the sidewalk surrounded by police officers. 'She was lying on the ground, and the paramedics were around her and I could see her purse down on the sidewalk,' Daniel said, adding Allison’s wallet was left at the scene. REPEAT OFFENDER WITH LONG RAP SHEET ALLEGEDLY GUNS DOWN MAN WHILE FREE ON PROBATION, BONDS DESPITE VIOLATIONS Authorities quickly learned that the vehicle Allison was driving was missing, launching a frantic search for an apparent carjacker as her loved ones watched helplessly as she was transported to a hospital, where she later died from her injuries. 'She was almost instantly killed, if not just a few seconds later,' Daniel told Fox News Digital. 'She was shot kind of through the neck and through the head.' Following a brief search, officers found 18-year-old Darius DeWayne Hall driving the victim’s stolen vehicle, resulting in a high-speed chase, according to KHOU 11.

'I opened my door around 4:15 a.m., and there was an officer on his knees with a shield and one behind him with a gun pointing right down the stairs to that unit where they found him,' neighbor Ken Knisely told KHOU 11. GOT A TIP? Hall was later taken into custody at around 7 a.m. and charged with capital murder stemming from Allison’s death.
