Prosecutors claim the defendant killed the woman because he didn’t want her to end the pregnancy and they believe that the 23-year-old man was the father of the baby. The investigation process began in May last year after the 911 caller told the dispatcher about shots fired at the location.

Surveillance video showed the moment when the defendant shot the woman in the head right before attempting to put her in a chokehold. 

Authorities believe the motive for the fatal shooting was the abrtion the woman got in Colorado, one day before she was killed.

Prosecutors claim the defendant didn’t want his girIfriend to get an abrtion and they believe he was the father of the baby. 

During the investigation process, authorities in Texas discovered that the defendant previously assaulted the woman while she was pregnant by punching her and strangling her.
