15ABC asked Rockdale resident, Amara Gonzalez if she ever thought something like this would happen in her neighborhood.
"No, I mean, we hear about suicide and gun shootings here a lot, but to be a mother and a daughter, I think that's the most shocking part, that it was just a family."
She was taken into custody at her home in Austin by several law enforcement agencies.
"I think it's just terrible that families cannot get along and that they have such hatred in their heart that they would kill someone, especially their mother," Gest said.
Amara Gonzales tells15ABC she's shocked to know something like this happened so close to home.
"I think it hurts our hearts and it made us sad. So, we were very surprised that it was a grandmother and a daughter involved."
And she believes neighbors need to look out for each other, to prevent something like this from happening again.
"I think we just need to pay attention to each other and be there for one another, especially when someone's struggling," she said.
