Everything began on August 8, 2013, precisely between 10:45 and 11:00 p.m., when Mr. Lawson arrived at the residence where he shared with Ladessa. When Mr. Lawson got home, he and Ladessa had a disagreement, but Ladessa thought Mr. Lawson was high at the time. At 11:30 p.m, after the heated argument, Mr. Lawson informed his father that evening that he would be visiting his home in Crowley, Texas, which is roughly three hours away from San Angelo. Later that evening, at 11:54pm, Mr lawson entered his silver ford as he drove out of the house.
