Georgia MAN MURDERS WOMAN REJECTED ‘RING’ AND ROMANTIC ATTENTION After Meeting on Dating App

A guy in Georgia will spend the rest of his life in prison for killing a woman brutally after she turned down his romantic advances. Antonio Wilson, 43, was given a life term without the chance of parole on Tuesday for the murder of Fabiola Thomas, 39, in June 2019.

The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office is prosecuting the killer as a domestic violence case. The killer and his victim had only been dating for a short time before breaking into Thomas’ home and strangling him to death.

Investigators showed that the two met on a dating app during the trial, according to a story from WSB, an ABC affiliate in Atlanta.

And there’s no doubt that the woman played it safe.

Abigail Potter, an assistant district attorney, told WSB-TV that Ms. Thomas did everything that you would think she should have done. “She told her friends where she was going.” She would only meet him in public places.

Wilson thought things were moving quickly, but Thomas did not seem to share his feelings of things moving too quickly or too much. He seemed to fall in love quickly, but she turned him down just as quickly.

Senior Assistant District Attorney Nalda Charles told WSB-TV, “She stopped being friends with Antonio Wilson the day before she died.”

The woman was also very clear about her choice.

In a text message to Wilson, Thomas said, “I don’t care about a ring. Keep your ring. I’m not your woman. I never was. Stop claiming me because I never claimed you.”

In another text message, Thomas writes to Wilson, “You crazy? I don’t want anything from a man I barely talk to. Not jewelry, money, not anything.” It doesn’t matter to me if you don’t know who I am.

The killer found out that the victim lived at the Atlantic Newtown Apartments in Roswell, Georgia, which is a far-flung northern suburb of Atlanta and broke in the next day. He strangled the woman and then left her body in her bathtub.

“And that’s the scariest part: she’s in her pajamas getting ready for work,” Charles said. “That was just so wrong.” It wasn’t necessary; it didn’t need to happen. Because she said no, she wasn’t carrying anything and was safe in her own house.

Thomas was killed early on June 8, 2019. Around 7:30 a.m. that day, neighbors said they saw her outside by her car. Someone in her room called the cops around 8:40 a.m.

At first, when the case was still unknown, police said, “The male caller was frantic and hysterical. He advised officers that his roommate was in his bathtub and that something bad had happened to her.”

Wilson was caught and charged with murder with intent in October 2019.

He was also found guilty on Tuesday. The Fulton County jury only took 30 minutes to decide that the killer was guilty after hearing from witnesses who said they saw him at the apartment and looking at photos of the crime scene, according to the TV station.

“My sister was attacked and killed in her own home,” Myrto Charles, the victim’s brother. “Life was fun and wonderful for my sister.” She had hopes and dreams that she wanted to reach, but they all died with her when she was last breathing.

As the sentence was being given, people who knew her got upset.

One of Thomas’s family members said through tears, “Her life mattered.” “She had a reason for living.”
