Records: Corpus Christi woman shot man in Southside home after he beat her

Corpus Christi police believe a 31-year-old woman shot her ex-boyfriend after he physically abused her, records show.

About 7:15 p.m. Monday, officers went to the 4400 block of Silver Hollow Drive, near Yorktown Boulevard, after reports of a shooting.

Initial reports stated the man beat the woman, and "she shot him shortly after," according to a probable cause statement.

Responding officers called for the woman to come out of the home.

"(She) walked out the front door and was detained in the front of the yard by (an officer) and placed inside of a patrol unit during the course of the investigation," the document states.

Officers did a sweep of the home and found an unresponsive man "in a 'pool' of blood on the living room floor," the document states.

The woman told police she shot her ex-boyfriend – identified as 32-year-old Lon Rives – during a dispute. Rives was pronounced dead at the scene.

"Above (the man) was a damaged television which indicated that a struggle occurred inside the living room," the document states. "After the residence was cleared, a perimeter around the crime scene was established for detectives to arrive and take over."

Police took Krystal Obanyoun into custody Monday evening. She was booked into the Nueces County Jail on suspicion of murder. Her bail was set at $1 million, according to jail officials.

A Facebook account appearing to belong to Obanyoun shows she is a general manager at Gold's Gym. The account also shows posts, which Rives are tagged in, of a young girl.

Police also seized an unspecified amount of cash and placed it into evidence, the document states.

Public records show Rives' most recent home address was the Silver Hollow Drive home where he was shot.

A Facebook account appearing to belong to Rives was flooded with posts expressing shock about his death. One post included a link to a YouTube video, where Rives and two other men are seen singing a cover of a song.

One post from a coworker said "(two) beautiful little girls are now fatherless which was Lon's world."

Friends also organized a candle light vigil for Rives at 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Faktory Studio. The studio is in the 1500 block of West Point Road near Greenwood Drive, according to the studio's Facebook page.
