According to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded at approximately 5:15 a.m. to a report of a person down following a crash in the 14300 block of Ravendale Road. When they arrived, they found a woman unresponsive. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators said a witness reported seeing a U-Haul vehicle strike the woman before leaving the area. Homicide detectives subsequently joined the investigation as authorities worked to establish the circumstances surrounding the fatal incident.
The sheriff’s office also indicated that the case might involve domestic violence. Investigators were seeking the woman’s boyfriend, who reportedly lived in the area. Neighbors told authorities that the couple had argued on Thursday, the day before the fatal incident.
Authorities further disclosed that an arrest warrant existed for the boyfriend in connection with a separate domestic violence incident. That warrant was unrelated to the fatal hit-and-run investigation, and the initial police report did not establish that he had been charged in connection with the woman’s death.
Investigators appealed to members of the public for surveillance footage and information that could help reconstruct what happened. They were particularly interested in footage from nearby properties and information from witnesses who may have passed through the area that morning.
The woman’s identity has not been independently confirmed in the police-based reports reviewed for this article. The names Amber Mauceli and Bobby Joe McCullah Jr., as well as the reported murder charge, therefore require further confirmation.
The investigation remains an important effort to establish the full circumstances of the woman’s death and determine responsibility.
