WOMAN MURDERED DURING APPARENT DRUG DEAL

Patricia Corbin, 56, was murdered in her Montecito Palms apartment, at the intersection of Skillman and Royal, on Dec. 20. A day later, 25-yearold Lewis Norbert was charged with the crime. According to Deputy Chief Rob Sherwin of the Crimes Against Persons division of the Dallas Police Department, Norbert wanted to purchase drugs from Corbin, but didn’t have enough cash. When Corbin refused to extend credit, the suspect allegedly pulled a gun and shot her in the head. A friend of the victim was cooking in the kitchen as the crime unfolded. She says Norbert pulled the gun on her, too, but she threw a pot of boiling water at him before he could fire. She then called the police and provided a thorough description of the perpetrator. Officers responded quickly and found Norbert, identifiable by his long dreadlocks, running down Skillman. Norbert was charged with murder and aggravated assault. His two bonds are set at $250,000 each.
