posted (August 10, 2018)
We got a chance to speak to police about this troubling case as well. They confirmed that it was a domestic dispute and that Williams stabbed Pop because she did not want to get back with him.

DCP Chester Williams- Commander of Operations
"Yesterday evening sometime after 7 pm police were called the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital. Upon arrival they saw one Roxanne Pop who had multiple stab wounds. She was being treated and later succumbed to her injuries. Police quickly investigated the matter and learned that Ms. Pop had an encounter with her ex common-law in the area of 88 shopping center. That encounter led to him inflicting the stab wounds to her and her subsequent demise."

Daniel Ortiz- Reporter
"Have police been able to find out what was that pivotal moment that caused the escalation from maybe a disagreement or an exchange of words to an actual violent encounter?"

DCP Chester Williams
"Well, it is an act of jealousy. Apparently Mr. Williams wanted Ms. Pop to get back with him and she refused his request. That was when he inflicted the stab wounds to her."

As you heard earlier, Pop had been suffering abuse for years with Williams. For those women being abuses, it is advised to urgently seek help and get out of the relationship.
