HOUSTON (KIAH)— Police are investigating whether a woman was killed by an alligator in a Clear Lake neighborhood.
Houston police said that they are waiting autopsy results of a woman in her 60s who was found Tuesday morning in the jaws of an alligator in the Horsepen Bayou, near the 2700 block of Coastal Oak Drive, just west of El Dorado Boulevard.
Police were in the area for a woman who was reported missing. A HPD sergeant fatally shot the gator to prevent it from doing any more damage to the woman.
The HPD dive team then came to the scene and recovered the body and the alligator from the bayou.
The investigation is pending the autopsy results, including the manner of death.
Anyone with information in this case is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600.
