Her body was discovered by a passerby around 1 a.m. in the 10300 block of Ney Street in southeast Houston. Sproles had sustained an apparent gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The suspect in Morgan
Sproles' murder is Guadalupe Toledo Vega, a 37-year-old man from Pasadena, Texas. Vega was arrested on December 6, 2018, and charged with murder. Interestingly, Vega was also arrested on the same day as Sproles' death for an unrelated aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. It remains unclear whether the two incidents are connected.
The case drew significant attention from the Houston Police Department, which worked diligently to piece together the events leading to Sproles' death. Detectives did not disclose any details about the relationship between Sproles and Vega or the motive behind the murder. The investigation continues as authorities seek to uncover more information about the circumstances surrounding this tragic event.
The community and Sproles' loved ones have been deeply affected by her untimely death, and the pursuit of justice remains a priority for law enforcement. The case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of community vigilance and cooperation with law enforcement to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents.
