HUTTO – A Hutto teen has succumbed to a gunshot wound to the head that happened in December.
According to a report from KXAN, the family of Faith Monreal, 15, said she passed away Saturday morning, Feb. 12.
On Sunday, Dec. 12, 2021, Monreal was involved in a shooting in a home in the Hutto Town Square neighborhood. The incident involved her and one other teenage girl.
The investigation has been ongoing by the Hutto Police Department since the incident Dec. 12.
“As the investigation progressed over the past few weeks, it became increasingly complex,” Allison Strupeck, city of Hutto communications manager. “These additional complexities emerged that warranted an even deeper investigation.”
No arrests have been made.
“When the investigation is all complete with all available documentation, Hutto police will then be able to make a well-informed recommendation to the district attorney’s office on whether or not to press any charges.”
Strupeck said the police are still looking at the different layers of the case to make the “most thorough recommendation possible.”
“We are limited on what we can share as Hutto police are investigating,” said Superintendent Celina Estrada Thomas and Principal Jonathan Smith said in a letter sent to parents in December after the incident. “This is difficult news for all of us, especially for those students and staff members close to those involved.”
No other details have been released at this time.
“Rest assured we are investigating it completely and thoroughly so that whatever recommendation we make is as wellinformed as possible,” Strupeck said.
