According to police, Womack is a famous athlete in the area. She was once a star player on the women’s basketball team at James Madison High School In recent years. On Monday, she was playing a pickup game with friends when the game turned into a heated argument.
A press release from the Dallas Police Department claims the alleged shooter – who has been identified by police as 31 years old Cameron Hogg (above, bottom center) – seems to have had some kind of conflict with Womack at the park after losing to her. Frustrated with his loss, Hogg is said to have driven his children and brother home before heading back to the park alone.
When he came back, Fox 4 first reported last weekend, he allegedly shot Asia five times. He then fled the scene before first responders could reach the scene. Police said surveillance camera footage in the area is believed to have captured Hogg’s vehicle driving away from the scene.
Since Sunday night, every Local 12, Hogg is still on the run. The police issued a warrant for his arrest. Spokesperson for DPD Kristin Lowman told Fox 4 About the investigation:
“Detectives are still working on the case. No one is in custody at this time. They’ve been doing it since Monday night, trying to find justice for Ms. Womack. “
Asia’s mother also spoke to the news agency about the senseless tragedy. Andrea Womack explained how Asia got to know the alleged shooter well before things went horribly wrong last week:
“This is considered a friend of Asia. She ate with the man. She fed him, and he debunked her and cruelly killed her. “
Local Pastor John Delley summarizing the terrible situation in the simplest – and most heartbreaking – way:
“It is meaningless. Basically, you become embarrassed because a woman hit you in basketball. “
It’s bleak.
Now, Asia’s bereaved family is desperate for justice after her murder. The aunt of the deceased woman, Juanita Smithtold NBC 5 News (below):
“I believe in forgiveness, but justice needs to be served.”
We completely agree with that.
