On April 20, 2010, Anselma Roman, aged 38, was found dead alongside her husband in their home in Southwest Houston. Both victims were found bound with duct tape and fatally shot, suggesting the possibility of a robbery gone wrong. The couple's residence showed signs of forced entry, which led investigators to believe that the primary motive may have been burglary. The crime was particularly violent, and it left the community and their family in shock.
The Houston Police Department responded to the scene after receiving a report about possible foul play. Evidence collected pointed to a struggle, but details were scarce, and no immediate suspects were identified. Law enforcement officials made repeated requests for public assistance in solving the case, hoping for tips that could lead to the identification of the individuals responsible.
Despite initial efforts, the case of Anselma Roman's homicide remained unresolved for a significant period of time. It became one of several cold cases under investigation by the Houston Police Department. Authorities continued to reach out to the community for any information that might help bring the perpetrators to justice. This tragic incident highlighted the dangers of violent crime in residential areas, and the loss was felt deeply by the local community.
