Man Hides in Ex-Girlfriend’s Closet to Surprise Her — Then Fatally Shoots Her New Boyfriend

Late on Sunday, October 26 in the quiet neighborhood of Converse, Texas, 23-year-old Shiateek De-Shean Wilson quietly arrived outside the home of his ex-girlfriend on Roveen Trail, carrying flowers, money and other gifts—intending, he said, to “surprise” her. When she wasn’t home, he snuck inside and hid in a closet, waiting. Then, around 2 a.m., her new boyfriend walked in—and the night took a tragic turn.

When the woman arrived at the house with her 35-year-old boyfriend, Noel Denzel Miller, Wilson lay in wait. The woman went to shower, Miller wandered to the laundry room—and in the next moment gunshots rang through the upstairs bedroom. Deputies found Miller on a bed with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced him dead at the scene.

In the doorway, the woman saw Wilson holding a black handgun. He reportedly muttered that she was “playing games with him,” grabbed her phone and fled downstairs. She begged for it back so she could call 911; after tossing it back upstairs, Wilson warned her not to tell on him—and vanished.

Law enforcement traced Wilson to a friend’s house about a mile away, where they arrested him later that morning. During the interview, he admitted to firing the weapon—but claimed that Miller had drawn a gun first, forcing him to act in self-defense. Detectives, however, found no weapon at the scene in Miller’s possession.

Wilson is now being held in the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office jail, bond set at $300,000, facing a murder charge in Miller’s death.

Neighbors say they were shaken by the violence in a typically quiet part of town—–a surprise that someone would breach a home so early morning, then turn love-gone-wrong into tragedy. The victim’s family is now coping with grief, remembering Miller as the steady figure he was, while authorities piece together what exactly happened in those last moments.

The case raises several unsettling questions: How and why did Wilson sneak in? What sparked the confrontation? And if his self-defense claim holds any weight—why wasn’t a gun found with Miller? Investigators say they found multiple bullet casings and shot holes in the home, evidence that the shooting was deliberate and not accidental.

At its core, the story is about jealousy, unresolved relationships, and the late-night decision that changed multiple lives forever. A man hoping for reconciliation walked into a scene he didn’t anticipate—and is now accused of taking someone else’s life. Tonight, a community mourns, questions remain unanswered, and a young man’s life lies cut short.
