Two Women Killed After Their Fight Spills Into Houston Street

A tragic and disturbing scene unfolded earlier this week in southeast Houston when two women were fatally struck by a vehicle while fighting in the middle of the street.

According to the Houston Police Department, officers were called to the 8900 block of Cullen Boulevard around 3:30 a.m. after witnesses reported a hit-and-run crash. When police arrived, they discovered two women, one in her 30s and another in her 50s, dead at the scene.

Fight turns deadly in the middle of the road

Investigators say the women were physically fighting in the southbound lanes of Cullen Boulevard near a food mart in the Sunnyside neighborhood when a vehicle, believed to be a red sedan, hit both of them before speeding away.

“They were rolling around on the ground,” said HPD Sgt. David Rose. “Some people stopped and tried to call police, but unfortunately, a vehicle driving potentially the speed limit ran them both over and kept going without stopping or helping.”
