Tarod London, 20, is being charged with tampering with evidence, tampering with a corpse, and disorderly conduct involving a firearm.
According to court documents, London told CSPD he was driving with the female victim when she began assaulting him. London said at one point, she pointed an AR-15 at him, resulting in the two fighting over the weapon while he was still driving.
London told CSPD that the gun went off during this fight, striking the woman in the head.
According to CSPD, London confirmed afterward he panicked and took her back to his apartment instead of seeking medical treatment.
