LEAGUE CITY, Texas — The mother of man killed in a hit-and-run Sunday said someone left a handwritten note of apology beside her son’s body.
"They said that they were sorry and that they had a family," said Roberta Jones. "But he had one. you know and he was my family."
Two days after Maurice Jones was found dead in a ditch along Dickinson Avenue, police were still searching for the person responsible.
They won't release many details about the note, but it contained information that leads them to believe the suspect might be a woman under age 40 with a newborn baby.
"It's a pure speculation that it was a female, but the handwriting appears to be of a female origin," said Scott Saldridge with the League City Police Department.
Jones, 34, was hit by a vehicle as he walked home from his night shift at a fast-food restaurant.
“It’s just so much,” his mother, Roberta Jones, said. “Maurice was pretty much everything.”
Police have limited information about what happened to Jones after he got off work at the McDonalds restaurant at FM 518 and state Highway 3 at 10 p.m. Saturday.
They know Jones started walking home along Dickinson Avenue, a narrow road that runs alongside a busy railroad, said Sgt. David Hausam of the League City Police Department. They know he chose to walk alongside the east side of road so he would be facing oncoming traffic, Hausam said
