STILLWATER, Okla. — Contrary to her initial report, police say there was no struggle between a bail bonds agent and her client last week before she shot him as he tried to escape her office.

Chasity Dawn Carey, 41, is currently being held on a first-degree murder charge in the shooting death of 38-year-old Brandon James Williams on Aug. 9. Williams, who suffered a gunshot would to his back, died on the scene.

According to a court affidavit, a camera set up in Carey’s office by her teenage son captured footage of the shooting.

Stillwater police said Carey initially claimed Williams shoved her and her son before struggling over her firearm, which she kept in a desk drawer, and that she shot Williams in self-defense. Carey later told police she had neither a conceal carry permit, nor was she a licensed armed bail enforcer.

“I don’t even know how he got the gun, how I had the gun, I just know I pulled the trigger and he went out the window yelling at me ‘You f—–g shot me,” Carey told Stillwater officer Kyle Bruce during an interview, according to the affidavit.

In the affidavit, Bruce concluded Williams never had possession of the gun and would not have known of the gun’s presence.

Carey told Bruce she and her 19-year-old son originally planned to get her client to the office after Williams advised her via text he planned to flee to Florida. Carey posted a $35,000 bond for Williams on July 31 on charges he faced in connection with three July restaurant burglaries, according to court documents.

According to Bruce, the video footage initially shows Carey and Williams sitting in her office before Carey, walking off-camera, is heard dead bolting her office door. Carey asks Williams to stand against a wall so she can handcuff him. Williams, refusing to be handcuffed, begins to gather his belongings and reaches for the door.

The affidavit then describes Carey saying “ouch” and pulling away. Williams walks to the window, which is out of the picture, where Bruce said he is trying to exit the window. Carey walks to her desk.

“She opens the drawer, removes the gun and turns toward the window. Carey is leaning against the desk and raised the gun with two hands and shoots the gun towards Williams,” Bruce writes. “You can hear Williams making a statement about being shot. Carey lowers the gun and clears what appears to be a malfunction.”

Carey’s arraignment is set for 1:30 p.m Wednesday, where bond will be set. Laura Austin Thomas, the county’s district attorney, will be heard Aug. 25 on a motion seeking to quash any open records requests for the video footage recovered on the scene.

Carey faces life in prison, with or without parole, if convicted.
