The man accused of murdering his co-worker inside a Lewisville office building last week was allegedly obsessed and angry about her taking work breaks that he thought were too long, according to an arrest report.
Travis Merrill, 51, was arrested on Thursday after police said he shot and killed Tamhara Collazo at her desk inside Allegiance Trucks.The business shares a parking lot with the Lewisville Police Department’s temporary headquarters in the 1800 block of Lakeway Drive. So, officers were there within minutes, taking Merrill into custody and trying to save Colllazo’s life.Unfortunately, she died from injuries at the hospital.
"Merrill admitted to following Collazo out into the parking lot while she took her lunch break on Thursday. He said he watched her sit in her car like usual and went to his vehicle to retrieve his guns."As she re-entered after lunch, he followed her inside to her cubicle and ‘ambushed’ her, firing the gun several times," the affidavit says.Merrill gave detectives the exact dates that Collazo took breaks and very clear details on how long each one lasted.
