HPD patrol officers responded to a shooting call at an apartment complex at the above address and found Ms. Ferguson unresponsive with at least one gunshot wound. Houston Fire Department paramedics transported Ferguson to Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center where she was pronounced deceased.
At that time, detectives pursued leads and believed the victim’s ex-boyfriend (Washington) was a person of interest.
Further investigation identified him as the suspect in this case. The Harris County District Attorney Office was contacted and a murder charge was filed against Washington.
