Blake’s probation was extended after not paying the arson victim the full amount of restitution in April of 2014. On May 08, 2015, her probation was extended once again because her probation officer reported she wasn’t making reasonable reparation or restitution to the victim. The court ordered Blake to continue on probation, but be monitored every six months.
According to Daily Mail, Dora Blake, 47, was arrested after allegedly shooting her son, Patrick Hollingsworth, 22, and his girlfriend’s mother.
Bossier police responded to the crash around 10:20 pm and found Hollingsworth deceased in the driver’s seat with a gunshot wound to his head.
His girlfriend’s mother was seated in the front seat of the vehicle and found to have gunshot wound to her shoulder before being taken to University health in Shreveport with non-life threatening wounds, according to KTBS.
Investigators say Blake was highly intoxicated that night and had taken a handgun located under the car seat, and shot the two victims. Authorities say her reasons for committing the act were “without provocation” and unclear.
Bystanders at the scene told officers that Blake got out of the backseat of the car and claimed she had been kidnapped and shot the other two people in self-defense.
“None of that made sense, that there was any type of kidnapping,” Bossier Sheriff’s Office spokesman St. Bill Davis told Inside Edition.
The mother of Hollingsworth’s girlfriend said the shooting was “spontaneous” and alleges that no fighting nor dispute had taken place prior to it.
Blake has been indicted for first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. She is being detained on a $1 million bond. Prior to this, she was charged with simple arson in 2011 after setting fire to her house with her husband inside.
