HPD: Murder suspect called 911 to report crime

HOUSTON

Investigators received a call around 11am about a woman dead in her home at the Casa Nube Apartments in the 4200 block of W. 34th Street in northwest Houston.

Authorities arrived and found the woman's body in the apartment. They believe she died in a violent struggle. Her name has not been released.

"Doesn't look like a shooting or a stabbing, but it's kind of unclear right now. We probably won't know until autopsy tomorrow exactly what her injuries are," Sgt. Kristen McGray with the Houston Police Department said.

News of the homicide had neighbors worried about their safety.

"There's always something happening over here, all the time. It's dangerous," neighbor Ms. Williams said. "I just feel sorry for the person. Too close to your home."

Investigators believe the suspect made the 911 call and fled the scene.

Police have identified a possible suspect, but he's not in custody yet. He drives a black 1980s Chevrolet Silverado long-bed pickup truck with Texas license plate number 39YGB5.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS or HPD's homicide division at 713-308-3600.
