The family’s pastor, John Delley, after Womack dies that evening in a local hospital, condemned the murder saying, “This is so senseless. You become embarrassed basically because a female beat you in basketball.”

The family said Womack won the game, then the shooter took his children and brother home before coming back to the park and shooting her five times as she was walking home.

Andrea Womack, the victim’s mother said, “This was supposed to be a friend of Asia’s. She’s eaten with the man. She’s fed him, and he turned on her and killed her in a vicious way.”

“If you know where he is, or his whereabouts are, please, please turn him in,” Womack’s mother said on CBS.
