MESQUITE, Texas<\/strong> – For the first time since the man accused of killing Keisha Hilliard was arrested, FOX 4 is hearing from her brother. He says he\u2019s grateful to know his sister\u2019s alleged killer is behind bars but says nothing can replace the loss his family feels every day.<\/p>\n

What we know:<\/p>\n

Police arrested Christopher Whitt on Thursday, in connection with the death of his partner, 42-year-old Keisha Hilliard. Officers had been searching for him since October 12, when Hilliard was found shot and killed inside her home.<\/p>\n

According to a police affidavit, Whitt\u2019s sister called 911 requesting a welfare check after he told her he had hurt Hilliard. Investigators say he had dropped off the couple\u2019s six-month-old baby and his three-year-old son at his parents\u2019 home before disappearing.
When his sister arrived there, the three-year-old told her, “My daddy shot Keisha.”<\/p>\n

Hilliard was found dead in her home with a single gunshot wound to her forehead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the police affidavit, Whitt\u2019s son told forensic interviewers that he watched Whitt shoot and kill Hilliard. That he was so close to the gunfire that it hurt his ears.<\/p>\n

Whitt had been on the run until his arrest on Thursday. Hilliard\u2019s brother, Malcolm, says he learned about the arrest from his niece and felt relief that the man accused of killing his sister was finally caught.<\/p>\n

What they’re saying:<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m happy that he\u2019s finally off the streets because it\u2019s already bad enough, but it\u2019s a whole lot better now that we know that he\u2019s off the street, and we finally can get some type of closure behind this situation,” said Malcolm.<\/p>\n

Malcolm says he\u2019s thankful to everyone who helped share his sister\u2019s story and bring awareness to her case. He found out about Whitt\u2019s arrest after he got a text from Hilliard\u2019s daughter.<\/p>\n

“She told me that mama did it. And I told her what you mean, and that\u2019s when I saw that he\u2019d been caught,” said Malcolm.<\/p>\n

What’s next:<\/p>\n

Christopher Whitt is now booked into the Dallas County jail.<\/p>\n
