Amber Mauceli was 35 years old when her life ended in the early hours of Friday morning on a residential street in Humble, Texas. What began as a reported argument between her and her boyfriend ended with her lying unresponsive in the roadway after being struck by a U-Haul truck. By the time emergency crews arrived, there was nothing they could do to save her.
Harris County deputies were called to the 14300 block of Ravendale Road, near Old Humble and Homestead roads, at approximately 5:17 a.m. on November 13, 2026. They had received reports of a woman being struck by a U-Haul vehicle. When deputies arrived, they found Mauceli lying in the roadway with injuries consistent with being hit by a vehicle.
Emergency medical personnel responded and pronounced her dead at the scene. Her death immediately prompted a homicide investigation involving the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
Investigators began speaking with people who were in the area before the incident. According to witness accounts, Mauceli had been involved in a verbal argument with her boyfriend, 35-year-old Bobby Joe McCullah Jr., shortly before deputies received the emergency call. The reported argument became an important part of the investigation as detectives worked to establish what happened before she was struck.
Authorities later located McCullah and arrested him. He has been charged with murder in connection with Mauceli’s death and booked into the Harris County Jail. Investigators have classified the case as an intimate partner homicide.
Although an arrest has been made, authorities have not publicly established a motive for the killing. They have also not released a complete account of the events surrounding the collision or detailed medical findings explaining the full extent of Mauceli’s injuries.
For now, the investigation and legal process will determine what happened on Ravendale Road and what evidence supports the murder charge. McCullah is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone who witnessed the incident or has information that could help investigators to come forward. People with relevant information can contact the Homicide Unit at 713-274-9100 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS (8477).
Amber Mauceli’s death has left her loved ones facing a painful loss. She was just 35, and the circumstances surrounding her final moments have raised serious questions that investigators are now working to answer. As the case moves forward, her family and those who knew her are left waiting for answers.
