Souza told police they began fighting because Watkins wanted to invite a woman to the wedding, whom she believed to be his ex-lover

Souza gave police different accounts of what happened, first telling them that she found Watkins with a knife in his chest and the door was open. She later told authorities that Watkins became violent and he eventually fell on the knife during a struggle.

Watkins’ sister, Erika, has created a GoFundMe page to raise money for his funeral and wrote that he “was victim to a senseless murder in his own home." “Those close to him will understand when we say he was the one-of-a-kind combination of Stone Cold Stunner and animal lover, bench press crusher and most loving brother, Army vet with no time for complainers and a real-life game changer."
