The parents of an 18-year-old Texas woman whose death was initially declared a suicide are demanding answers after it emerged that she may have actually been killed in a hit-and-run crash.

Houston Police were called to the intersection of the East Freeway feeder road and Gregg Street on 6 February where Jesslyn Zuniga was found lying dead on the side of the roadway. Investigators thought she had jumped from the overpass above where a truck was found abandoned, but her parents didn’t believe that version of events.
