Daimon Howard (Dallas Police Department)

A 33-year-old woman was found shot to death Friday afternoon after Dallas police responded to a shooting call in Red Bird.

Officers received the call at 1 p.m. and were told that the shooting took place at the Red Bird Trails apartments at 3636 W. Red Bird Lane. When they arrived, they found Chasity Williams dead.

After speaking with a witness, police arrested Williams' boyfriend, 29-year-old Daimon Howard.

The witness told police that Howard, who also goes by "Cabbage," was arguing with Williams about what time Howard came home, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. The witness said he left for 20 minutes and when he returned, the two were still arguing in a bedroom of the apartment.

He told police he heard Williams shout, "Move out of the way! Move! Get off me!" Thinking he might need to protect Williams from Howard, who is known to carry a weapon, the witness said that he had gotten up to get a gun from a friend's home when he heard a gunshot from the bedroom.

He heard several more gunshots and ran out of the apartment to get help, he said. He said he then saw Howard walking to the front gate of the apartment complex, so he ran back to the apartment.

The witness said he found Williams lying on the bedroom floor and shook her unsuccessfully to get her to wake up.

After being detained, Howard agreed to speak with detectives. According to the affidavit, he said he and Williams were arguing about his drug use and that he shot and killed her.

He was booked into the Dallas County Jail and charged with murder. His bail was set at $250,000.
