Women Shot Dead By Relative Who Didn't Think She Dressed Properly For Easter Dinner

[kpete]

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Police in Ohio say a woman was shot to death in an argument with a relative who didn't think she dressed properly for Easter dinner.

Columbus police say 19-year-old Danielle Pickens showed up Sunday night at the home of cousin Evelyn Burgess wearing a T-shirt and jean shorts. Detective Steven Eppert says 42-year-old Burgess told officers she thought the outfit was inappropriate and disrespectful for Easter dinner.

The women fought, and police say when Pickens walked outside to leave in a car Burgess shot her in the head with a handgun. The younger woman died at a hospital.

Eppert says Burgess told investigators she didn't mean to shoot Pickens.

8. Hope Danielle is dressed properly in the casket. I'm SURE Evelyn will be dressed right for prison.

10. Ummmm. Me thinks there was much more underlying this. The

attire was sort of the last straw. No way, am I justifying
anything. This is deplorable. Most often the excuse
given is never the whole truth.

12. I agree.....the Easter dress blow-up was the last issue

in what was probably a long history of "tit for tat" issues for these two women.
