Awful situation, sounds like it's going to charged as a homocide.

Yeah, that would have been better wording.

Domestic violence ending with murder. RIP.

Angry ex-boyfriend vibes.

Yup. A detective I know puts it like this: “Who kills women? Men kill women.” When a woman is killed the first person the cops look at is the husband or boyfriend.

How horrific.

Sounding like it might have been a #whenwomenrefuse type situation. Whatever the motivation, that shit is tragic and seriously scary. So sorry for all of her family, friends, teammates, and classmates.
