Tragic reports are speaking about a troubled dance mother from Utah who was embroiled in a messy custody battle with her former partner.
She ended up killing her own cheerleader daughter at a hotel in Las Vegas and then turned the gun on herself in what was described as a tragic murder suicide matter as per the cops.
11-year-old Addi Smith was shot dead alongside her mother, Tawnia McGeehan, at the Rio Hotel and Casino on Sunday, with an apparent suicide note found near her.
This is right after the duo failed to show up for the cheer competition, as per the authorities.
Cops confirmed that the mother and daughter duo were in town for the cheer meet, without providing any details about their identities to the public. They also refused to share what was mentioned inside the note.
The cheerleading team soon made the tragic announcement about the pre-teen's death, shortly after the police shared the grim discovery inside the hotelroom.
