A 44-year-old woman has been arrested and charged with the murder of Timothy Grims, 43, following an investigation into his death last month at 13300 Cullen Boulevard in Houston. According to City of Houston News, the suspect, Sharon Renee Mitchell, is currently facing charges in the 179th State District Court.
The initial response by HPD patrol officers to a vehicle crash in the early morning of May 12 uncovered Grims, trapped and lifeless under an SUV, subsequent paramedics from the Houston Fire Department declared the man dead at the scene, Houston Police Department Homicide Division Sergeant A. Lopez along with Detective N. Sharp led the subsequent inquiry. After questioning at the scene of the crash, Mitchell was initially detained but subsequently released, however subsequent investigations linked her to Grims' death, leading to her arrest on June 1.
The charge stems from a collision event reported to have taken place at about 4:40 a.m. on the day in question, where police discovered the grisly scene that would later elevate from a tragic accident to a criminal case following an in-depth probe by local authorities. As it stands, Mitchell's photograph has been released alongside the news release detailing her arrest and charge.
Details surrounding the motives or circumstances leading to the deadly event have not been fully disclosed, and the narrative of what transpired remains sparse, with the Houston Police Department withholding further comments at this pressing time, Mitchell was arrested without incident and has been booked into the Harris County Jail, according to officials. The community and media breathlessly await more information as the wheels of justice begin to grind forward in this sobering chapter of violence on Cullen Boulevard.
