Tonya Davis Anderson, 44, was shot to death on July 20, 2021, in her apartment in Spring, a Houston suburb. The killing occurred during a domestic dispute with her husband, Christopher Edward Anderson, 39. A neighbor testified hearing Tonya screaming and telling Christopher to leave moments before gunshots, and Tonya’s son—who was present—called 911 to report the shooting.

Christopher had a documented history of violence: a prior conviction for aggravated assault against a family member and an arrest seven months before the killing for choking Tonya’s 16-year-old son. Court filings say Christopher had been ordered to stay away from Tonya and her son, wear a GPS monitor, and not possess firearms, yet he was at the apartment on the day of the shooting. He fled after the shooting, discarding his ankle monitor, and was arrested three days later at his parents’ home in another county.

The prosecution presented evidence of the prior violence and the events leading up to the shooting. Does anyone have information about Tonya’s life in Spring or knew her family that could help shed light on what led to this tragedy?
