Texas suspect killed coworker over breaks she took at work: police [Video]

Texas authorities say that a man suspected of a recent homicide was obsessed with the coworker he killed, and claimed that her “long breaks” was a main reason for the murder.

Travis Merrill, 51, was arrested after he allegedly shot and killed his coworker Tamhara Collazo at her desk on Thursday. The two both worked at an Allegiance Trucks office in Lewisville, which is roughly 30 miles north of Dallas.

Police say that Merrill opened fire on Thursday afternoon after the victim came back from a lunch break. She was rushed to a hospital, but died from her injuries.

“As she re-entered after lunch, he followed her inside to her cubicle and ‘ambushed’ her, firing the gun several times,” an affidavit obtained by FOX 4 Dallas describes.
