Monica Olivarez Hughes, 50, was found dead in her Houston apartment on March 30, 2026, after neighbors reported hearing gunshots the night before at 2831 Laura Koppe Road. Houston Fire Department personnel responded to a person down call and pronounced her deceased at the scene from a fatal gunshot wound; the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences later identified her.

Neighbors told investigators they heard the shots on the evening of March 29 and saw a man believed to be Monica’s boyfriend leaving the apartment shortly afterward. Houston Police Homicide detectives focused on that man, 48-year-old Eric Eugene Goosby, as the primary suspect and gathered evidence linking him to the shooting.

Following consultation with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, murder and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon charges were filed and a warrant issued. On April 2 officers from multiple units arrested Goosby and booked him into the Harris County jail. Does anyone have information about Monica, her routines, or what was happening at the Laura Koppe Road apartment in late March?
