NEW - The Dallas County Medical Examiner's office has identified one of two victims in Saturday's shooting at Methodist Dallas Medical Center as Jacqueline Pokuaa, 45.
The man accusing of killing Pokuaa and another medical worker, Nestor Hernandez, now faces a capital murder charge.
Investigators said the parolee was given permission to visit his girlfriend on Oct. 22 after she gave birth to their child. Hernandez, 30, walked into the labor and delivery unit armed with a gun at about 11 a.m., according to investigators. He opened fire, striking Pokuaa and the other victim, before a hospital police officer shot him. Hernandez survived and was transported for treatment to another hospital.
The hospital alerted workers when it went on lockdown during the shooting. Police have not provided a potential motive for the shooting or said whether Hernandez targeted Pokuaa or the other victim. "The Methodist Health System Family is heartbroken at the loss of two of our beloved team members. Our entire organization is grieving this unimaginable tragedy.
