Reportedly, on June 23, 2003, Allen Jason Wooten met Ruiz Stone at a location in Camden, where Ruiz told him that she was pregnant. During their heated conversation, Allen allegedly lost his calm after Ruiz threatened to get rid of his family and he started beating her ruthlessly. Ruiz passed away on the spot after the inhuman attack took place.

Allen then went on to dump her dead body in another location to cover up his tracks. However, his plan did not work for him as investigators found out about their affair and when questioned about Ruiz's death, Allen couldn't control his emotions and confessed to his sinister crime.
