A 22-year-old woman who was found struggling to breathe with a gunshot wound to her head on Thanksgiving died days later, according to a Texas sheriff’s office.

Now her boyfriend has been arrested, KSAT reported.

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office was called to a home at about 11:50 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 24, according to a news release. The deputies found a front door was open, and they heard someone with difficulty breathing.

They entered the home and found the woman was shot in her head, authorities said. She was taken to a hospital in critical condition, and officials said she was “fighting for her life.”

The woman was pronounced dead at 6:02 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 27, authorities said.

The sheriff’s office identified Paris Shaw, 24, as a suspect in the shooting and asked the public for help finding him, according to a news release.

On Nov. 27, the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office learned the San Antonio Police Department arrested Shaw on charges of burglary of a building, evading arrest and criminal trespass at a different address.

Shaw also faces charges connected to the shooting, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and serious bodily injury - family/dating, according to the release.

“The investigation is ongoing and additional charges are forthcoming in this case due to the death of the victim,” authorities said.
