Nelson was pronounced dead at the scene, police say.

After a brief investigation, police determined 34-year-old Kenneth Ray Walker was the suspect. Walker later turned himself in and admitted that he stabbed Nelson. He was taken to Dallas County Lew Sterrett Jail and charged with murder.

Nelson and Walker were “involved in a dating relationship and have a child together,” according to the arrest warrant affidavit.
