An innocent woman was found dead in bushes last week after she was choked to death by a stranger who had followed her from a dollar store, police said.
Hector David Sagastume Rivas, 21, allegedly detailed to detectives how he used his knees to crush Camillia Williams’ neck after failing to end her life with a chokehold.
The 52-year-old grandmother was killed after she called one of her nieces to report that a stranger was following her as she headed to her home late on March 12.
“I just can’t imagine what someone would have in their heart to do that to somebody,” Williams’ niece said.
“What he’d done was really horrific. It’s mind-blowing.”
Rivas allegedly dumped Williams’ body on the side of a road near her home. Police found her last Thursday morning.
“When they found her in the bushes, we looked at the bushes real close, and it just so happened to be a Camellia bush,” the victim’s brother said.
