A man was sentenced to life in prison by a Fulton County Georgia judge for the murder of a woman he met on a dating app who rebuked his advances.
On Tuesday, Antonio Wilson, 43, was sentenced for the 2019 murder of 39-year-old Fabiola Thomas, WSBTV reports.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis described the case as truly tragic. Thomas was strangled to death in her Roswell apartment in 2019.
“Keep your ring, I’m not your woman, never was, stop claiming me because I never claimed u,” Thomas wrote in a text.
Another text from Thomas to Wilson reads: “u crazy, I don’t want nothing from a man I barely communicate with, jewelry, money … don’t mean nothing to me if you don’t know who I am.”
Senior Assistant District Attorney Nalda Charles mentioned that Thomas had unfriended Wilson the day before her death, and text messages revealed his inability to handle rejection from her. The prosecution highlighted that Thomas and Wilson had only briefly dated.
Wilson was handed a life sentence without the possibility of parole for malice murder.
