A 19-year-old is in custody after he was accused of fatally shooting a woman in a parking lot in northeast Harris County last week, according to court records.
Fransico Javier Ochoa is charged with manslaughter in the death of 24-year-old Joselyn Espinoza, charging documents said.
According to the Houston Police Department, patrol officers responded to St. Joseph Medical Center on Sunday, Sept. 15, when it was reported that a woman had been dropped off after suffering a gunshot wound to the head.
The woman, identified as Espinoza, was transported to Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center, where she later died from injuries, according to police.
At the time, details surrounding the shooting remained unclear.
Further investigation identified Ochoa as the suspect in the case. According to police, the shooting happened at the Palace Inn parking lot in the 15000 block of Mesa Drive at about 2 a.m.
Charging documents reveal there was surveillance video of a disturbance between the victim and the suspect in a green pickup truck that led to the shooting.
