Pasadena, Texas (KTRK) – A day after a woman was kidnapped at gunpoint in Pasadena and later found dead in Houston, police issued a warrant for the arrest of her ex-boyfriend.
The video above is from a previous report.
Detectives in both cities are trying to track down Daniel Chacon, who police identified Tuesday as a key figure in the murder.
Witnesses said her ex-boyfriend forced her into her own sports car, which appeared on Monday evening with her body inside.
Pasadena police confirmed they are investigating a concrete barrier storage yard in southeast Houston where an SUV was found with the body. Houston police tweeted that they helped investigate 5200 Cedar Crest, near Mikawa and south of the Loop.
Police linked this scene and the aggravated kidnapping call that took place at 9:51 a.m. at an apartment complex. According to officers, a caller reported seeing a man forcing a woman into a car at gunpoint at the 3800 block of Red Bluff in Pasadena.
Police added that the woman was found in the car with a gunshot wound. Her identity was not immediately revealed.
Her family wasn’t ready to talk about what happened publicly yet, but they confirmed that the woman and her former child shared a baby. This baby is fine and with the family now.
While no arrests have been made, Pasadena police believe the alleged kidnapper and victim are involved in two previous domestic violence cases with the department. In those calls, the officers contacted the attorney general’s office to file charges, but they were not accepted.
“There have been two more reports of disturbances, and cases of domestic violence, over the past few weeks. So, this has been developing rapidly. Those are still under investigation. Unfortunately, charges have not yet been accepted in any of these cases. So, unfortunately, here we are. (Mon.), “Pasadena Police Department Sgt. Raul Granados said.
Police believe Chacon is dangerous and may still have a weapon.
The Pasadena Police Department is expected to hold a briefing Tuesday at 2 p.m. to provide it with more information.
