A 40-year-old man has been arrested and charged with murder following the death of a woman found inside a Joshua home on Sunday afternoon, according to authorities.
The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, along with the Texas Rangers, identified the suspect as Noe Reyes, 40, who is now in custody in connection with the death of Patricia Roman, 40.
Deputies were dispatched shortly before 3 p.m. to a residence in the 4000 block of Dillard Court after receiving a 911 call reporting an unresponsive female. When emergency responders arrived at the scene, they discovered Roman inside the home. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators quickly detained Reyes shortly after the discovery. Following further investigation and an interview with detectives, authorities formally charged him with murder in connection with Roman’s death. As of now, a bond has not been set.
Officials have not yet released a motive for the killing or the specific cause of death, noting that the case remains an active and ongoing investigation. Authorities have not disclosed additional details surrounding the events leading up to the incident.
The involvement of the Texas Rangers highlights the seriousness of the case as investigators continue working to gather evidence and determine exactly what occurred inside the home.
The tragic death of Patricia Roman has left the Joshua community shaken, as loved ones and neighbors await answers. Authorities are urging anyone who may have information related to the case to contact the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office as the investigation continues.
Further updates are expected as more information becomes available. All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
