The 22-year-old boyfriend has been charged with murder and is now in custody.
Texas banned abortions after the sixth week of pregnancy in September 2021. Therefore, the woman traveled to Colorado to terminate her pregnancy. The day after she returned to Texas, she was fatally shot multiple times by her boyfriend in a Dallas parking lot after police said he first tried to strangle her.
According to the arrest warrant, the accused man is believed to have been the father of the child and to have opposed the abortion.
