A woman was shot to death Friday night in Eastern Valley, and her brother is now behind bars.

Jefferson County sheriff's deputies responded shortly after 7:30 p.m. to a home in the 1100 block of Hudson Avenue on a report of a shooting, said Chief Deputy Randy Christian. When they arrived on the scene, they found 66-year-old Janice Hopkins Stamps suffering from a gunshot wound.

Stamps was taken to an undisclosed hospital where she was later pronounced dead.

Christian said information from the scene indicates that Stamps had been arguing with her brother. The brother - 62-year-old Thomas "Tommy" Hopkins - pulled a handgun and shot Stamps.

Hopkins told deputies he shot his sister because she was yelling at him. He is charged with murder and was booked into the Jefferson County Jail at 1:04 a.m. Saturday. He remains in jail with bond set at $75,000.

"I can't think of too much that's sadder than a brother killing his sister the day after Thanksgiving. It just doesn't make sense,'' Christian said. "God be with this family."
