A Texas man who hid in the closet with flowers to surprise his ex-girlfriend ended up killing her new partner when the couple arrived at her San Antonio home.
Shiateek De-Shean Wilson, 23, is accused of sneaking into his previous girlfriend's home late Saturday night, October 25, where he planned to surprise her, only for the woman and her new partner to arrive at 2 a.m. on Sunday morning.
According to arresting paperwork cited by KENS5, the woman went upstairs to take a shower and was interrupted by numerous gunshots. The ex girlfriend reported seeing her former partner waiting in the doorway with a firearm. The victim, her new love interest, Noel Miller, was found with a gunshot wound in an upstairs, the woman stated.
Suspect claims shooting romantic rival in ‘self defense’
The victim was found lying on a bed in an upstairs room suffering from what appeared to be multiple gunshot wounds, the San Antonio Express-News reported.
Wilson took the woman’s phone before fleeing the scene, urging her ‘not to tell anyone’ before his eventual arrest later that morning at a friend’s house. During questioning the suspect admitted shooting his romantic rival while insisting it was ‘self-defense,’ claiming the victim had pointed a gun at him first.
Leading into the shooting, Wilson had snuck into his ex’s house with flowers, money, and cocaine to ‘surprise’ his former girlfriend with, arresting documents stated.
Along with flowers and other ‘items’ arresting documents stated multiple shell casings and bullet defects being found inside the home. A weapon was not found during the warrant search.
Wilson has since been charged with murder. Wilson is currently being held in the Bexar County Jail on $300,000 bond, records show.
