A Texas man was apprehended Monday, months after he allegedly gunned down his ex-girlfriend, who had posted a video of him threatening her with a gun on social media.
Damen Carrillo, 26, was charged with first-degree murder in connection with the February 15 shooting death of Ghabriella Barrera, 24.
Carrillo allegedly sent Barrera several threatening texts asking her to remove the video on the night before the slaying.
“You work today, right? If the video don’t come down, I’m pulling up,” one message read.
Barrera was shot multiple times while driving before crashing near railroad tracks along General Hudnell Drive and Kirk Place.
Her family said Carrillo had been threatening her since she filed domestic violence charges against him in November 2024.
