On Dec. 6, the body of Alyssa Murray was found in her Kenton County apartment. She had been fatally shot, according to a Villa Hills Police Department news release.

One week later, Kenton County Prosecutor Rob Sanders charged 23-year-old Moustapha Ka with second-degree manslaughter.

At first, Villa Hills police believed the young mother had killed herself. However, when a medical examiner arrived on the scene the theory was quickly eliminated, according to the prosecutor, as reported by WXIX. On Monday, Sanders revealed Ka and Murray had been dating.

"So far, there is nothing to suggest the couple wasn't getting along," Sanders said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE. "Detectives even discovered their suspect purchased an engagement or promise ring for the victim earlier in the day and had hidden it with the intention of giving it to her at Christmas."

Ka turned himself in to the Kenton County Police Department on Sunday, after being at large for a week, according to police.

-A judge sentenced a 25-year-old man to 20 years in prison Monday after he pleaded guilty in the shooting death of a mother in Crescent Springs, according to court documents.

Court documents state that Moustapha Ka pleaded guilty in late 2021 to shooting and killing 22-year-old Alyssa Murray.

Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney Rob Sanders says Murray, whom investigators believe was Ka’s girlfriend, was shot inside her townhome on Anderson Road on Dec. 13, 2020.

According to a news release from the prosecutor, law enforcement discovered that Ka had fled the scene before they arrived. He was booked in the Kenton County Detention Center shortly after.

Sanders says Ka stated it was unintentional.

He adds the second-degree manslaughter charge reflects that the available proof indicates the shooting of Alyssa was not intentional.

“So far, there is nothing to suggest the couple wasn’t getting along. Detectives even discovered their suspect purchased an engagement or promise ring for the victim earlier in the day and had hidden it with the intention of giving it to her at Christmas,” he said in a news release.

Sanders said it was a case of a loved one handling a gun when marijuana was present.

Court documents note Ka pleaded guilty to all charges, including manslaughter, possession of a handgun, and tampering with evidence.
