Eighteen-year-old Tyler Holder, jailed last year (2013) for raping and killing a 6-year-old neighbor and shooting an Arlington police officer, pleaded guilty 4 September 2013. He will now spend at least 50 years in prison.

According to the Tarrant County district attorney's office, Holder agreed to plead guilty to three charges: killing Alanna Gallagher; setting fire to the Gallagher family's house during a memorial on July 19, 2013; and the attempted capital murder of Arlington police detective Charles Lodatto four days later.

Holder’s conviction was a lock based on DNA evidence that tied him to the rape and murder of Alanna Gallagher, who was found wrapped in a tarp – her head covered in plastic grocery sacks, her wrists and ankles bound in duct tape – on a Saginaw TX street on July 1 of 2013. Two weeks later, during a memorial service at the family's house, Holder set a car and part of the house on fire.

Holder, who lived near the little girl, initially said he'd had no contact with her. DNA evidence found at the scene proved otherwise. When police went to arrest Holder on July 23, he pulled a gun and shot Lodatto in the groin.

When police searched the Holder residence, they found plenty of evidence tying him to the little girl's murder, including paper towels with blood, condoms, latex gloves, phones, computers, clothes and the very same red duct tape used to bind Alanna’s hands and feet. They also found a note he'd left for his mother, Kimberly, which read: "I love you. I’m sorry”.¹
