It happened Sunday, June 2, at Lafayette Village Apartments on the East Sam Houston Parkway near Woodforest Boulevard.
Gonzalez said deputies responded to a welfare check after family members called to report they found 46-year-old Latoya Fisher dead inside her apartment after not hearing from her in several days.
Fisher showed signs of trauma, according to Gonzalez.
Gonzalez said her vehicle was initially missing, but was later found abandoned.
On Tuesday, the sheriff said murder charges were filed against Fisher's 16-year-old son.
The teen was placed in the Harris County Juvenile Detention Center.
Sgt. Jason Brown with the sheriff's office said the teen lived with his mom at the apartment.
