A Texas man allegedly killed his girlfriend for refusing to have a baby with him, according to an arrest report obtained by local news.
Adam Byrd, 23, is accused of fatally shooting his girlfriend, 22-year-old Jade Alyssa Alvarez, several times on April 6, FOX 29 reported, citing a San Antonio Police Department incident report.
The night before her murder, Alvarez had been using a witness's phone to speak with Byrd when Byrd asked the witness to drop her off at his home between 10:30 and 11 p.m., which is the last time the victim was seen alive, according to the outlet.
The witness later identified Byrd in a photo and said she and Alvarez had been in a relationship, the arrest report states, according to FOX 29.
