Detectives say Owens was killed after he reportedly met Taylor at a casino, took her to the Super 8 Motel, gave her $20 and demanded sexual favors.

Taylor said she refused and Owens demanded his money back and became violent.

Police said it wasn't long after Taylor left that security camera footage shows four men outside Owens' door then rush the room.
