HOUSTON – A man is behind bars, months after a Houston woman’s body was mysteriously found inside his apartment.
Dennis Greer, 45, is charged with criminal mischief for allegedly causing $6,500 worth of damage to his unit at 666 Maxey Road. It is the same apartment where 34-year-old Brittany Gamble’s body was found in November. The charge is not directly connected to Gamble’s death, but her family says it is a step in the right direction.
KPRC 2 News reporter Corley Peel has been following this case for months. This is the first time Greer has been publicly identified, because until now, no arrests had been made and Greer had not publicly been named as a suspect.
Gamble’s sister, Rebekah Falke, told Corley she is relieved to hear about Greer’s arrest.
“He’s off the street. He is off the street for now. He can’t do this to someone else,” Falke said.
KPRC 2 News obtained a first look inside Greer’s apartment, showing a damaged door, scattered clothing and clutter.
The investigation into Greer started in November 2025 when Facebook Live video appeared to show Greer with Gamble after she left a Houston hospital. Falke says Gamble did not know Greer. Days later, Gamble’s body was found inside his apartment. During that time, Greer allegedly posted videos of Gamble before and after her death, including footage that appears to show him sleeping next to her body and placing a ball of her hair near a Bible.
“She had zero dignity in the last days of her life. It’s truly, truly unfair,” Falke said.
The Harris County Medical Examiner ruled Gamble’s cause and manner of death as undetermined. Houston Police initially closed the case without criminal charges before reopening the investigation in May following questions from the family and KPRC 2 News.
In July, records show police returned to Greer’s apartment after someone called 911 saying they saw a different unresponsive woman on his Facebook Live. Video posted on Greer’s Facebook Page shows his exchange with the officers.
“You had someone dying in here,” an officer said.
“When?” Greer responded.
“You’ve got people watching your Facebook Lives saying a female is passed out or unconscious,” the officer said.
A second officer added: “You’re doing creepy stuff, recording videos of girls sleeping.”
Greer replied: “I wake them up so they can see they’re responsive.”
HPD confirmed the woman inside was alive.
Greer has a criminal history and court records show Greer was previously charged with murder in a 2013 case involving a woman whose body was found dumped in a ditch. Those murder charges were later dismissed, but Greer was convicted of tampering with evidence involving a human corpse and served seven years in prison. He is currently in the Harris County Jail on the criminal mischief charge with a $15,000 bond.
Falke says she hopes the arrest is just the beginning.
“I’m hoping that some accountability is brought to Brittany’s case. Maybe there’s some closure where her family can kind of move through that grief cycle,” she said.
Houston Police have not charged Greer in connection with Gamble’s death. The investigation remains ongoing.
