Suspect at large after running over 4, killing 1

A Houston man is at large after he allegedly ran over four people early Sunday, killing one as he backed over her body and circled around to hit her again.

The chaos started after 38-year-old Dixa Rios climbed out of a car with two male friends around 2 a.m. near Telephone and McHenry, according to Houston police.

Police believe her exboyfriend, Rigoberto Alexander Escobar, was lying in wait nearby. When he spotted the woman walking toward JoJo’s Club, he allegedly revved the engine of his gray Ford truck and drove straight into her.

He dragged her body a little ways and witnesses tried to get him to stop, according to Houston police.

“Apparently the suspect did not care, put the vehicle in reverse and ran her over again,” Sgt. Joshua Horn told reporters.

Then, he drove away, made a U-turn and came back to hit her again before fleeing, authorities said.

It’s not clear at what point she died.

Three other men — Adan Salgado, Celso Velasquez and Maneesh Roberts — were hurt in the crash, and one ended up with a broken foot. They were all taken to local hospitals for treatment but their conditions are unknown.

Escobar, who police say is in his mid-30s, is believed to be driving a 2002 to 2005 silver or beige Ford F-150 pickup truck with Texas license plate number GTJ-7424.

Anyone with information on Escobar’s whereabouts can call HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
