A man charged with murdering his girlfriend had gotten in a fight with her earlier in the day at a bar because he flirted with other women, according to details revealed during a court hearing Saturday.
Jasper Davis, 29, was charged in the death of 24-year-old Jennifer Nicole Mamo, whose body was found Friday morning near Birnamwood Boulevard .
Davis told Houston police that he and Mamo got into a fight at a bar because Davis was flirting with other girls. When they got home, Davis told police that Mamo took his gun from the bedroom dresser and he tried to get the gun away from her by grabbing her arm.
Then, the gun went off. Davis apparently called a friend over for help. When his friend arrived, he saw Mamo’s body inside Davis’ trunk and said that he would not help him, according to a prosecutor at the probable cause court hearing.
The friend left the home and called police when he arrived back at his own residence. Davis told police he eventually dumped Mamo’s body in a creek.
Authorities found the woman’s body at the location with a gunshot wound to her face, according to the court hearing.
Their infant daughter was also found at the home alone, but with no injuries.
Davis is currently in Harris County Jail with a $100,000 bond. He is expected to appear in court Monday.
