Adrienne Dameron, 37, of San Antonio was shot in the head during an argument at an East Side apartment complex on April 26, 2018. Friends knew her as A.J.; family say she had been trying to rebuild her life, recently reconnecting with her children and taking a job at a 7-Eleven.

The shooter was her boyfriend, Cameron Roby. Roby was arrested the same day. Medical examiner testimony established the fatal wound was fired with the gun pressed against her head, a detail investigators and prosecutors presented as evidence that the shooting was not accidental. A jury later convicted Roby of murder.

Adrienne’s mother, Gail Dameron, spoke publicly after her daughter’s death to raise awareness about domestic violence and to say Adrienne had been hiding the abuse.
