A heartbreaking case has come to light in north Houston, where a woman has been arrested in connection with the tragic death of a 16-year-old girl. Tracy Gonzales, 48, is now facing serious charges after investigators linked her to the incident.
The tragedy unfolded on March 25, when Nayeli Perez was discovered unresponsive in her bedroom at a home on East 32nd Street in Houston. Paramedics rushed to the scene, but sadly, Nayeli was pronounced dead.
At first, the cause of her death wasn’t clear, leaving her family and the community searching for answers. However, after a thorough investigation, authorities determined that Nayeli’s death was a homicide.
Gonzales, who had been caring for Nayeli, was arrested in December after investigators gathered enough evidence against her. She now faces charges of injury to a disabled person with serious bodily injury. The case is being handled in the 488th State District Court.
This devastating situation has left many shaken as authorities continue to piece together what led to Nayeli’s untimely death. Investigators are still working hard to uncover more details and bring clarity to a case that has deeply affected the Houston community.
