HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — A woman's body was discovered Monday morning during a welfare check on the west side of town, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, and her daughter is accused of killing her.
Deputies were called to the 3400 block of Boxelder Drive in the Forestview subdivision, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said in a tweet.
Kristen Woods, 39, was taken into custody by Houston police on an unrelated charge, according to Gonzalez.
It wasn't immediately clear what led to the welfare check that prompted the discovery of the woman's body or why the woman's daughter is accused of killing her.
Deputies found the woman's body inside a home and said she had possible signs of trauma. Investigators said there was also an extensive amount of blood at the scene.
Investigators were looking into what may have led to the woman's death. They're asking witnesses to come forward. They're also looking for any surveillance video that could have captured any part of what happened.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Harris County Sheriff's Homicide Unit at 713-274-9100 or to contact Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS (8477).
