DALLAS – Family members of a young woman killed in a deadly confrontation over a pick-up basketball game addressed the man who pleaded guilty to her murder. The 21-year-old victim, Asia Womack, was shot by 32-year-old Cameron Hogg after an argument at a park in South Dallas in 2022, according to Dallas police.
Court documents revealed that after the disagreement at the park, Womack left the area and was sitting outside with a friend to watch football when Hogg drove up, got out of the car, and shot Womack multiple times before leaving the scene. Hogg pleaded guilty to the murder earlier this week and was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the crime.
During the victim impact statements in court, members of Womack’s family confronted Hogg with emotional outbursts, questioning the motive behind the killing and expressing their dissatisfaction with the sentence. The victim’s mother, Andrea Womack, expressed her disappointment, stating that her daughter’s life was worth more than the 20-year sentence handed down to her killer.
Hogg’s defense attorney claimed that he had witnesses ready to testify that Womack had pulled out a firearm, and that the plea deal was reached because of self-defense claims. However, the district attorney’s office declined to comment on these claims, as prosecutors had initially sought a 50-year sentence while the defense proposed 10 years.
Hogg’s criminal history in Dallas County includes previous charges of robbery, family violence, and aggravated assault. Family members of the victim voiced their dissatisfaction with Hogg’s plea deal, and he will now be transferred from the Dallas County Jail to a state prison in Texas.
