The Dallas Police Department news release states that Asia Womack, 21, was found last Monday evening on a South Dallas sidewalk, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds before she was transported to a nearby hospital where she succumbed to her injuries.
According to the victim’s family, Asia was in a heated pickup basketball game that included some “trash talk” against a guy who is believed to be the shooter.
The victim was a known athlete who previously played on her James Madison High School basketball team. The family says she was an extremely talented basketball player.
Police later identified the suspect as 31-year-old Cameron Hogg.
“But this is so senseless,” Pastor John Delley told Fox4news station. “You become embarrassed basically because a female beat you in basketball.”
According to Fox4, the shooter took his kids and brother home and came back to the park, shooting Asia five times.
Cameras at a nearby store possibly captured the car speeding away. Detectives took the video, the news station reported.
The investigation was ongoing, and no additional information was immediately available.
