HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The family of a young woman who was beaten to death earlier this week are not only grieving for her, but also for her accused killer.
Sommer Gatto,18, suffered blunt force trauma to her head and torso Tuesday night. Investigators say her boyfriend, Marquis Williams, 20, beat her head against the ground on the street where she lived. He was naked and believed to be high on drugs.
"A young couple, seemingly in love one minute," described Sommer's father, Todd Gatto. "Everything was going fine. Apparently some type of drug activity, we don't know what, and at that point, within minutes, Marquis lost his mind."
