The man who in 2022 killed a 21-year-old woman in Dallas after she beat him in a pickup basketball game has been sentenced to 20 years in prison, according to Dallas County court documents.

Cameron Jamaal Hogg, 32, pleaded guilty Tuesday to murdering Asia Womack on Oct. 3, 2022, according to the court documents.

Police in 2022 said Hogg shot Womack, a graduate of James Madison High School, while she was walking home after after she beat him in a pickup game of basketball at a park in South Dallas, near South Fitzhugh Avenue and the Dos Equis Pavilion.

Hogg was arrested later that month.

“We’re taking it kind of hard because it was senseless,” Womack’s aunt, Juanita Smith, told KXAS-TV in 2022. “I just don’t understand why you kill somebody over a basketball game.”
