ALDINE, Harris County, Texas, Nov. 14, 2026 — A 35-year-old woman died early on Friday morning, November 13, after she was struck by a U-Haul truck in the 14300 block of Ravendale Road, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office. The woman has since been identified as Amber Mauceli, and a man has been arrested in connection with her death.
Deputies with HCSO District 2 Patrol were sent to the scene around 5:17 a.m. after a 911 caller reported a woman had been hit by a truck and was lying in the road. Arriving deputies found Mauceli unresponsive in the roadway with injuries consistent with being struck by a vehicle. EMS personnel pronounced her dead at the scene.
HCSO Homicide Detectives and Crime Scene Investigators handled the preliminary investigation. Detectives said witnesses reported hearing Mauceli in a verbal argument with her boyfriend outside just minutes before the 911 call came in. That man was initially identified as a person of interest while investigators worked to locate him.
In an update to the case, the sheriff's office said 35-year-old Bobby Joe McCullah Jr., identified as Mauceli's boyfriend, has been arrested and charged with murder in connection with her death. He remains in custody. Authorities said the investigation is ongoing and asked anyone with information to contact its Homicide Unit or Crime Stoppers of Houston.
We offer our deepest sympathy to the family of the victim.
