Woman's body found inside NW Harris County apartment, sheriff says

Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said there were some signs of foul play.

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — An investigation is underway after a woman's body was found inside a northwest Harris County apartment Monday, according to deputies.

The discovery was made at about 9:50 a.m. at an apartment complex in the 10000 block of N. Eldridge Parkway, which is near Highway 290 and Highway 6.

Initial reports are that the 22-year-old woman's family found her unresponsive in the apartment after she and her live-in boyfriend didn't show up at a family function they were expected to attend Sunday.

The family called 911 and was instructed to perform CPR on the woman. When EMS arrived at the scene, the woman was pronounced dead.

In a tweet, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said there were "some signs of foul play." 

According to Sgt. Greg Pinkins with the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the woman's cause of death will be determined via autopsy.

The woman's boyfriend was not at the apartment when the family and police arrived.

Deputies said the couple has two vehicles between them and one of them is missing. The vehicle is described as a silver Nissan Altima with Texas license plate number: LJN3031.

Family members reportedly told deputies there has been family violence between the woman and the boyfriend but reports have never been filed with law enforcement.

Deputies are interviewing neighbors to see if they heard any commotion from the couple's apartment this morning. Deputies are also looking for surveillance video.

If you have any information that can help deputies solve this case, please call the sheriff's office or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-8477.
