A mother of four is dead in what appears to be a horrific case of domestic violence. Jameka Williams, 38, was at her home in Missouri City, Texas, when a man allegedly shot and killed her in front of three of her children. One of her daughters reportedly called her aunt in a panic, trying to get help. Sadly, the gunshot wound was fatal, and Williams died at the scene.
Williams' loved ones allege Christopher Levels, with whom Williams shares two children, is the killer. Police have not formally identified the suspect, but the family claims Levels shot Williams, and now they fear for their safety.

An argument reportedly ensued the night of the killing.
Officers from the Houston Police Department arrived at a home on Bird Run Drive around 7 p.m. November 10, according to ABC 13. Police Lieutenant Larry Crowson said Williams and the alleged gunman got into an argument before he shot Williams. He reportedly took off in a Nissan Altima.
Jaterra Williams, Jameka Williams' sister, said the man, identified on Facebook by JusSherica Price as Levels, was the father of two of her sister's children. One of the girls, 14, called Jattera Williams for help.
"She stated, 'My daddy just killed my momma,' "Jaterra Williams told ABC 13. "It hurts because the fact the kids had to experience a traumatic experience like that, and that's the last memories they will see of their mother."
The couple reportedly dated for years.
Jaterra Williams told ABC 13 that her sister and Levels had been together on and off since high school. According to Jaterra Williams, Jameka Williams was planning a night out with friends on the evening of her death, and he apparently got jealous.
"When he saw her flat ironing her hair, getting ready to hang with friends, he said, 'You're not going anywhere. Today is the day,' and that's when he got the gun and pulled it out on her," Jaterra Williams said, per the news outlet.
There may have been signs that trouble was brewing.
Jaterra Williams alleged the boyfriend had threatened her sister in the past, but no one thought he would hurt anyone.
"She showed me text messages where he was threatening her that he was going to kill her and whoever she is talking to," the grieving sister recalled.
She urged others to be safe if they fear their partners. "If a guy or girl is telling you they will hurt you or kill you or anything else, I would say leave after the first sign. You have to believe it," she said, according to ABC 13.
Jameka William's children are learning to live without their mother.
The slain woman's oldest child spoke with ABC 13.
"My mom always talked about me graduating now that I am finally a senior. It's supposed to be me and her year. She always talked about my prom, coming to my games and watching me walk that stage as a senior. I'm not just a senior but a senior with honors," son Jayden Williams said.
Family and friends are rallying around the children and want her killer arrested.
"This wasn't no accident this man shot and killed a mother of 4 in front of her children and 2 of them was his Help her children and family get JUSTICE JUSTICE FOR JAMEKA WILLIAMS and keep her children and the Williams family and Steptoe Family in y'all prayers JUSTICE FOR JAMEKA WILLIAMS JUSTICE FOR JAMEKA WILLIAMS CHILDREN please share this can help these babies get Justice for there mom," JusSherica Price wrote on Facebook.
