In the first six months of Ludemann's relationship with Camacho, police officers spoke to her six times regarding public confrontations with him.

During one incident, Ludemann told police that Wade repeatedly called her cell phone and left threatening voicemails.

While Wade was outside walking her dog, she heard a car honk, and she stated that Ludemann yelled "Stay away from my man!"

Witnesses later testified that they overheard Wade threaten Ludemann on speakerphone "I'm going to stab you and your Mexican boyfriend."

Ludemann arrived at Javier Laboy's house and saw Wade speaking with him and their friend Dustin Grimes.

Immediately after the stabbing, witnesses say that Wade threw the knife over a neighbor's house and calmly said "I'm done."

Ludemann died at Northside Hospital as a result of a heart puncture, and was pronounced dead at 2:20 a.m. the next morning.

[4] Prosecutors brought up the history between the two in order to show that Wade intended to kill her rival over Camacho.

Hebert brought up the Applebee's incident in which Ludemann and her friends knocked Wade's tray over, sang Girlfight during karaoke and taunted her.

The jury heard the voicemails, which Ludemann saved eight months prior, in which Wade stated that she was going to kill her.

This ultimately sealed her fate as the jury of five men and one woman took just two and a half hours to find her guilty of murder in the second degree.

[13] This case has been discussed on television series such as Dateline NBC in February 2011,[14] Deadly Women in November 2011, and Facing Evil with Candice DeLong in December 2011.

[15] Wade's case was featured on the shows Snapped on October 7, 2012, Killerpost on February 13, 2016, and Mean Girl Murders on April 29, 2024.

Wade's case was later examined on the "Fatal Love Triangle" episode of the series Vengeance: Killer Lovers which aired on HLN on March 17, 2019.
