An argument ensued and that's when police say Theobald threw his vehicle in reverse. Brenda Romano was struck and later died from her injuries. Robyn Romano was hit and suffered a broken leg. Theobald then reportedly left the scene.
Investigators say they received several tip calls after they saw the story aired on the news, one of which lead them to a Western Inn Motel in the 15000 block of the North Loop around 4:30am Sunday. They found Theobald in one of the motel rooms. The Houston Police Department also got a tip on where the vehicle was abandoned. They've since recovered it.
Theobald has been charged with murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Investigators say he confessed to his role in the incident.
Authorities say Theobald has a lengthy criminal background.
