According to local and parish officials, an incident that happened on September 25, 2023, left the unidentified female fearing for her safety. Bastrop Police said that they received a panicked phone call from the female where, during the call, dispatchers could hear yelling and gunshots in the background. When officers arrived at the address given, the alleged suspect had already gone. When they located the female, she advised them that Devontavious Wilson had attacked her.
