The Huston Police Department filed charges against Chukwuebuka Nwobodo, 28, in the murder of a 24-year-old San Diego woman, and seeks the public’s help in locating his whereabouts.
Felicia Johnson was reported missing from the InterContinental Huston-Medical Center hotel at 670 Main Street on April 16, according to HPD in a press release. The report was made after her cellphone, covered in blood, was found in the roadway in Bear Creek Pioneers Park near Highway 6 and Clay Road.
HPD officials said that further investigation revealed Johnson left the hotel in a vehicle in the early morning hours of April 16.
Nwobodo was identified as a suspect in Johnson’s disappearance when police learned he picked her up from an apartment complex at 3233 Windchase Boulevard and he took her to his apartment at 14935 South Richmond Avenue.
“Evidence indicates Nwobodo killed Johnson inside his apartment before disposing her personal effects in Bear Creek Pioneers Park. It is believed he disposed of Johnson’s body at some point within the next few days. At this time, her body has not been recovered,” the HPD wrote in a press release.
Nwobodo is charged with murder and tampering with evidence. He remains at large.
Anyone with information on Nwobodo's whereabouts or in this case is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
