[NARRATIVE #1 on December 24, 2023]

Upon arrival, I spoke with the victim, [VICTIM #1], who stated the following: She was with her boyfriend, Quarez Nelson, in the parking lot of The Columns of Hiram’s Apartments inside her vehicle. She received a notification on her phone. Quarez noticed that she received a notification and demanded that she give him her phone. She complied and gave Quarez her phone. Quarez read through the message she received from another male. Quarez accused her of cheating and began to yell at her. She retrieved her phone and refused to let Quarez see her phone. Quarez grabbed her by the throat and began to apply pressure against her throat impeding her normal breathing.

She stated that she gasped for air and began to feel lightheaded. Quarez then released her throat and demanded that she give him her password for her phone. She refused so Quarez took her phone and began repeatedly dropping her phone on the ground. Quarez again asked for her password to the phone and again she refused to give Quarez her password. Quarez again grabbed her throat and began to apply pressure against her throat impeding her normal breathing. She tried to call out for help but could not due to Quarez grabbing her throat. She attempted to open the door and exit the vehicle but Quarez shut the vehicle door. Quarez then struck her in the face multiple times. Quarez again asked for her password to the phone and again she refused to give Quarez her password. Quarez then threw her phone on the ground damaging the front and back screen.

Quarez called his friend to pick him up. She did not know the friend who picked him up. When Quarez’s friend arrived, Quarez walked to his friend and stated “I should kill the bi*ch” and grabbed his jacket where she knew that he kept his firearm, but did not see the firearm. Quarez then left the scene. She followed the vehicle and witnessed that it was a Black in color Chevrolet Tahoe, license plate [REDACTED]. She witnessed the Tahoe drive behind the Taco Mac parking lot but then lost sight of the vehicle. She then called 911 and waited in the back of the Taco Mac’s parking lot for law enforcement to arrive.

She showed me the damage done to her phone. I witnessed the damage on the front and back screen. I took pictures of the damage on the phone. She then showed me her neck and informed me that visible injuries were on her neck. I witnessed a visible injury to her neck. I took pictures of the injuries on her neck. She denied any medical treatment. I asked if she would write a written statement form she agreed and completed a written statement form. I attached all the pictures and written statement form to the report.

I was not able to speak with Quarez due to him leaving the scene. Aggravated assault by strangulation and Criminal damage to property in the second-degree warrants have been signed by a magistrate judge. Quarez is not in custody at the time of writing this report. I informed [VICTIM #1] on how to obtain a TPO against Quarez. [VICTIM #1] stated she was going to attempt to get a TPO as soon as she could.
