With deep sadness, we honor the life of Monica Oilvarez, a beloved member of the Houston community whose life was tragically ended in a violent act at the age of 50. Her passing leaves loved ones grieving, unanswered questions, and a community seeking justice and peace.
On an otherwise quiet evening in north Houston, what should have been an ordinary night turned devastating. Houston Police responded to a call on the 2800 block of Laura Koppe Road and found Monica unresponsive in her apartment. Despite emergency efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene, a moment that profoundly impacted everyone who knew her.
Monica was far more than a news report; she was a daughter, friend, and neighbor whose presence brought warmth and meaning to the lives around her. Friends and family will remember her for her kindness, quiet strength, and the positive influence she had daily.
Investigators report that neighbors heard gunshots late Sunday and saw a man leave the apartment. Authorities have named Eric Goosby, who was close to Monica, as a person of interest. Police are asking anyone with information to come forward but caution against approaching him directly.
While the investigation continues, Monica’s family remains focused on honoring her memory. Her life mattered, her story matters, and her impact will continue to live on in the hearts of those who loved her.
This tragic event also highlights the need for community awareness and support. Though lives can change in an instant, shared strength and compassion help families endure even the most difficult times.
