Texas woman faces capital murder charge after daughter suffers ‘severe trauma’, dies

On Saturday, March 29, at 6:31 a.m., the Atlanta Texas Police Department received an emergency call from a residence in Bloomburg off FM 74.

A neighbor made the 911 call on behalf of an injured woman identified as Jacki Kubin, who ran to the neighbor asking for help. The neighbor was able to alert law enforcement to a description of a fleeing suspect vehicle.

When officers arrived, an ATPD officer saw a female child who had suffered severe trauma and transported the child to a nearby hospital.

The suspect, identified as Allison French, abandoned the vehicle off FM 74 and Cass County ESD #3. French was located with the help of a drone, and she was detained and brought to a hospital for treatment of self-inflicted injuries. French’s 9-year-old daughter, Abigail French, was pronounced dead at the hospital, and the child’s grandmother, Jacki Kubin, was treated for wounds she suffered defending herself.

French was arrested on a capital murder warrant for the death of Abigail French. The investigation into this incident is ongoing and the Cass County Sheriff’s Office has said there is no additional information to release.
