The woman was pronounced dead at the hospital. Authorities said she had signs of trauma to her neck.
Jyron Lee was detained at the scene, and further investigation led to him being charged with murder in the woman's death. His bond was set at $250,000.
Police said two girls, ages 1 and 3, were also in the hotel room but were not injured.
However, police say they later learned that another child, Nadia, was unaccounted for. When they were unable to locate her, the Missing Persons Division took the case.
At some point, police say they received information and evidence that there was possible foul play involved, so the Homicide Division took over the investigation. Police say they have since then received information and evidence to determine that there was foul play involved.
Anyone with information on 2-year-old Nadia’s whereabouts is asked to call the HPD Homicide Division AT (713)308-3600 or Texas EquuSearch at (281)309-9500.
