A Texas woman identified as Corinna Johnson has been found dead in a closet after reportedly beaten to death by her boyfriend.
Dallas police confirmed the incident, stating that they received a call from the nearby Garland Police Department in the early hours of April 15, reporting a murder at a Dallas apartment.
The police revealed that the suspect identified as Omar Lucio, 34 refused to come outside, after they were called to the scene.
However, after three hours, Lucio “came outside and was taken into custody” around 3 a.m.
At the apartment, officers followed a trail of blood from the front door to the bathroom and into a bedroom closet, where they found Johnson wrapped in Lucio’s bedsheets.
Lucio was charged with murder and booked into Dallas County Jail later that afternoon.
He also faces a dozen additional charges connected to highway racing and a collision involving serious injury.
At the time of filing this report, the Dallas police declined to provide additional information on the case, but family of the deceased woman identified her on a Go fund me page claimed her death was connected to “domestic violence.”
This tragic incident goes to show that domestic violence is a fast-rising killer, reiterating the need for people to leave abusive relationships.
