Brianna Lashea Griffith was an 18-year-old from Houston who died on February 5, 2022. Born January 21, 2004, in Baytown, she attended schools in the Baytown and North Shore districts and is remembered for her radiant smile and kind nature. Initial circumstances were unclear, but investigators determined she had been murdered.

Detectives identified 25-year-old Miguel Angel Moreno, a Houston resident originally from Mexico, as a suspect. He was charged with tampering with and fabricating physical evidence; those charges were later upgraded to murder after forensic evidence linked him to the crime. Surveillance footage showed Moreno carrying a U-Haul box that was later found to contain Brianna’s body, and investigators say she was struck with a blunt object.

Moreno pleaded guilty to the murder; a sentencing hearing was scheduled. Does anyone have information about Brianna’s last known movements or the U-Haul footage?
