HOUSTON (AP) It started out as a normal night where Ana Trujillo and her boyfriend went out to a local Houston bar they often frequented. They enjoyed a couple bottles of wine, and tossed back a few shots of tequila.
But the evening soured, she told police, after another man approached her at the bar. He offered to buy her a drink, angering her boyfriend, Alf Stefan Andersson, a respected professor and researcher at the University of Houston. The two argued and left the bar in a huff.
Yet how she became so incensed, or scared, that she wielded her stiletto shoe as a deadly weapon repeatedly bashing Andersson with the heel, leaving him dead in a bloody crime scene remains unclear. Trujillo maintains she acted in self-defense after Andersson became violent.
"Somebody is dead. The motive doesn't change the charges," Sara Marie Kinney, a spokeswoman for the Harris County District Attorney's office, said Wednesday. "She confessed to doing it. The reason and all of that will play out in court."
