According to witnesses, the child was riding their bike in the intersection, when someone, alleged to be Vuong, hit the child in an SUV and drove off.
It’s unclear at the moment if the child was being supervised when they were riding their bike, and that bike wasn’t even on the scene when first responders got there.
Investigators say it was dragged underneath that SUV at least a half-mile, where it was recovered across the street from a Mobile gas station on Greenhouse Drive and Keith Harrow.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez reports a vehicle was recovered in the arrest.
Vuong has been booked in Harris County Jail. According to court records, Vuong has been charged in the past with a manufacturing and/or delivery of a controlled substance charge and possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance charge.
