Investigators said the suspect and victim were not dating and were described as former friends and coworkers, even though Cousiamono claimed on Facebook that he was in a relationship with Williams.
Williams listed him as a friend on the social media platform and tagged him in a post featuring a video of a man dancing in late January.

He also had pending charges of misdemeanor stalking, communicating threats and harassing phone calls from January incidents involving the 23-year-old woman.
A man named Tyrone who knew the victim and her mother described Williams as very friendly and said that Cousiamono had misinterpreted her friendliness and had fallen in love with her.
He said although Cousiamono had threatened to kill Williams on two separate occasions, local law enforcement failed to take action.
'The police told her that if he didn't do nothing physically to her, or to their property, he could communicate all the threats he want and there was nothing law can do to help her,' Tyrone claimed.
