A man accused of killing a Dallas woman after she beat him in a basketball game has been arrested Thursday, police and family members say.

Cameron Hogg, 31, has been charged with the murder of 21-year-old Asia Womack, according to police who issued a warrant for his arrest on Oct. 9 alleging he shot Womack several times and left her lying on a sidewalk to die.

Dallas Police were called to the shooting on Hamilton Avenue at about 7:40 p.m. on Oct. 3 and officers arrived to find Womack injured on the ground. Dallas Fire-Rescue took the woman to a nearby hospital where she later died.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by NBC 5, Womack and Hogg were involved in an argument at the Paul L. Dunbar Learning Center during a basketball game. Womack left and walked to a nearby friend's house where they were watching a football game outside.

Womack and her friend were sitting on the curb when police said Hogg pulled up in his pickup, got out and walked over to Womack. Womack's friend, who had known Hogg for 15 years, said he appeared upset.

The witness told police that as Hogg approached Womack she stood up. Without any provocation, the witness said, Hogg shot Womack twice in the chest knocking her into a chair. The witness said Hogg then shot her two more times before leaving.

According to the charging document, the witness later identified Hogg in a six-person photo lineup as the person who shot the woman.

In the days after her death, Womack's family told NBC 5 that she'd been killed over a dispute at a basketball game.

“We’re taking it kind of hard because it was senseless,” Womack’s aunt, Juanita Smith, told NBC 5 earlier this month. “I just don't understand why you kill somebody over a basketball game."

The family's pastor, John Delley with Faith Tabernacle Church of God in Christ, said the shooting took place at the park where someone couldn't accept defeat, left the park, and came back with a gun.

“I believe in forgiveness, but justice needs to be served,” Smith said earlier this month.

Police had been looking for Hogg for 11 days before announcing his arrest Thursday. They did not release any details about where he was found or how they learned of his location.

Hogg's bond amount has not yet been posted and it's not clear if he's obtained an attorney.

Dallas police are asking anyone with information about the shooting to contact Detective Derek Koerner, at 214-671-3605 or derek.koerner@dallaspolice.gov.
