Bexar County is on high alert as the sheriff's office ramps up its search for Kavion Jones, the man accused of a brutal assault on his girlfriend that left her gasping for her life, FOX San Antonio reports. Last Wednesday, a distress call broke the silence, describing a situation where Jones was accused of nearly strangling his partner to death in a case of domestic violence.

The victim recounted how an argument over Jones's relationship with the mother of his child spiraled into violence, the silence of the night punctured by her struggle for air, as per her chilling narrative to law enforcement obtained by News 4 San Antonio. The confrontation allegedly escalated until Jones’s hands clamped down on her throat, squeezing, a vice grip that didn't relent until she succumbed to darkness, and though fate spared her from that eternal night, the terror of those moments clung to her still.

Desperation clawed at the victim as she grappled with the fear that her assailant would summon reinforcements to further her doom. In an act of quick thinking, she severed the Wi-Fi connection, a digital lifeline cut to impede a potential call to his confederates, according to the report by FOX San Antonio. Her move to disconnect the Wi-Fi was a bid to prevent him from using his cellphone for a heinous encore.

Jones escaped the law and disappeared into the city's shadows. Meanwhile, his victim sought help at a hospital, revealing the extent of his physical injuries, according to News 4 San Antonio. With the authorities now turning to the public for aid, they have provided a description: Jones stands at 5 feet 8 inches, a frame weighing 130 pounds, on the loose, somewhere in the vast expanse of Bexar County.
