Cobb County police have made an arrest after a woman’s body was found inside a house last week, according to officials.
Hector David Sagastume Rivas was booked into the Cobb jail early Tuesday, online records show. He faces one charge of felony murder and aggravated assault in connection with the death of Camillia Williams, 52, of Marietta, police confirmed.
Authorities said they got a call about a person down at a home on Pat Mell Road at around 8:30 a.m. March 13. It’s a small, quiet neighborhood just south of Austell Road and north of Windy Hill Road.
When officers arrived, they found Williams dead inside the home. No other details have been released by police.
Williams died during a struggle at some point between 11 p.m. March 12 and 1 a.m. the next day, according to an arrest warrant obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
What prompted the incident is unclear, but the warrant states that Sagastume Rivas allegedly put Williams in a chokehold until she lost consciousness. Then, investigators said he told them that he “put both his knees and full body weight on her neck,” which killed her.
