Man charged with murder of ex-girlfriend

He said it was not the first time they had been in what he called a “knife situation” and that the two men were not supposed to be together. The documents do not specify the knife reference.

Later that night and the next morning, when interviewed by investigators, he told them the shooting was a mistake, insisting he had controlled himself. He said he was trying to hold Williams back so she wouldn't leave, but that as they fought, he lost control and everything happened very quickly. He said he pulled the trigger three times, but he didn't know how many times he hit her.

He claimed it was not his weapon and that he later got rid of it. The weapon has not been found.

Shortly before 2 a.m., while he was in custody, his remarks were again captured on police body camera, Jones said. Wooten told police, “I think I killed my only support system,” according to court documents.

Wooten and Williams knew each other from Queens and later both lived in Georgia. Although police said over the weekend that Wooten’s last known address was in Queens, he provided identification indicating he resided in Atlanta and that the car he was driving Saturday was registered to him at that address.
