Commissioner Ellis’s Statement on HPD’s Search for Missing Woman in Lake Houston

19 Jun, 25

“I am deeply saddened to learn that the young woman who went missing on Lake Houston near Alexander Deussen Park has been found deceased.  

My heart goes out to her family, her loved ones, and everyone affected by this tragic loss. I know there are no words that can ease the pain they are feeling right now, but I want them to know our community grieves with them.  

I am grateful to the Houston Police Department, first responders, agencies, and my staff, who worked tirelessly during the search.  

In moments like these, we are reminded just how fragile life can be and how important it is to hold each other close.  

May she rest in peace, and may her family find comfort and strength in the days ahead.”
