Family members had gone to the apartment after becoming concerned after not being able to reach Fisher for several days. They broke a window to get inside and found her dead.

EMS and law enforcement were contacted and it was determined her death was a homicide. At the time, law enforcement said she had some sort of traumatic injury, but were unsure of exactly how she died.

On Tuesday, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office announced Fisher’s 16-year-old son was taken into custody and charged with murder in connection to her death. He is believed to be the only suspect in the case.

The teenager was taken to the Harris County Juvenile Detention Center.
