Woman's Body Found in Brays Bayou Near MacGregor Park

Police have not said whether the case relates to last week's report of a woman swept into the bayou.

Overview

  • Houston police opened an investigation Wednesday morning after a woman's body was found along Brays Bayou near MacGregor Park.
  • Officers were dispatched around 10:40 a.m., and Houston Fire Department crews arrived near Martin Luther King Boulevard to support recovery efforts.
  • HPD homicide detectives are leading the case, with a dive team called in because the body was reported submerged.
  • Officials have not released the woman's identity or the cause of death, and investigators remained on scene into the afternoon.
  • The earlier search on May 1 covered about seven miles after witnesses saw a woman carried off by strong currents, and police have not confirmed any link to that case despite an HFD captain telling the Chronicle the timing and location make a connection a strong possibility.
