Texas man charged with murder following discovery of woman's body in closet. Stay informed as details of the case unfold.

The tragic death of 27-year-old Corinna Johnson has led to murder charges against her partner, 34-year-old Omar Lucio, after her body was discovered wrapped in bedding and hidden in a closet at his apartment in Dallas.

 

Garland Police Department received a distressing 911 call reporting the death, prompting them to alert Dallas Police Department. Upon arrival, officers found Lucio inside the apartment, initially resistant to exit. Eventually complying, Lucio was placed under arrest.

 

Inside the apartment, officers followed a trail of blood leading to the grisly discovery of Johnson's body concealed in a bedroom closet, wrapped in bedding. Further evidence was found in Lucio's vehicle, including bloody clothes.

 

According to court documents, a witness recounted Lucio admitting to assaulting Johnson after a dispute at a bar, resulting in her becoming unresponsive. Lucio allegedly confessed to beating her with his bare hands while inside their car.

 

Despite Lucio's admission of snapping and assaulting Johnson, details surrounding how she ended up in the closet remain unclear. Johnson's family, deeply saddened by her loss, described her as a vibrant individual, while expressing concerns over her relationship with Lucio, citing previous instances of bruising.

 

Lucio is currently held at Dallas County Jail on charges of murder, along with additional charges related to street racing and involvement in a collision causing bodily injury. As the investigation continues, Johnson's loved ones grapple with the devastating loss of a cherished family member.
