A man is facing murder and aggravated assault charges after accidentally shooting and killing his girlfriend during an argument with another man outside a Dallas strip club early Sunday.



Police were called to the Tiger Cabaret Club in the 9000 block of East R.L. Thornton Freeway at about 3:50 a.m. for a reported shooting.

Officers arrived and found a woman, later identified as 18-year-old Natalie Tavares, shot and lying next to a car. She was taken to the hospital where she later died, police said.



Detectives learned that the shooter, 19-year-old Aldo Saucedo, was also Tavares' boyfriend.

Saucedo was reportedly arguing with another man outside of the club when he reached inside his car, grabbed a handgun and fired at the man, police said.

The shots missed the man, but instead struck Tavares, according to police.

Another woman standing nearby was also struck by gunfire. She was taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life threatening.



Saucedo was arrested at the scene and is facing murder and aggravated assault charges.
