Man wanted for running over ex three times, killing her
An enraged Texas man mowed down four people, including his ex-girlfriend — who was killed after she was struck three times — outside a Houston club before he peeled away from the scene, police said.
Rigoberto Alexander Escobar had not been charged in Sunday’s fatal vehicular assault on 38-year-old Dixa Rios as of Monday, but investigators want to question him in the woman’s death, Houston police announced following the 2 a.m. incident at 5200 Telephone Road.
Police responded to the scene over reports that several people had been run over by a pickup truck. Rios was later pronounced dead while three male victims — identified by police as Adan Salgado, 36, Celso Velasquez, 32, and Maneesh Roberts, 46 — were transported to hospitals with possible broken bones. Their conditions were unclear early Monday, police said.
Escobar may have spotted Rios crossing the street as she was about to enter JoJo’s Club with the men and drove directly into her, dragging her body a short distance.
“Apparently the suspect did not care, put the vehicle in reverse and ran her over again,” Sgt. Joshua Horn told reporters Sunday, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Investigators believe Escobar then drove off and turned back around to hit Rios a third time before fleeing the scene in a silver or beige Ford F-150 pickup truck, which is believed to be a 2002-2005 model with Texas license plates GTJ-7424.
Rios and Escobar — who is believed to be in his mid-30s — knew each other for about five years and had a history of domestic violence, her relatives told KTRK. Rios, who was identified to the station as Dixa Yamilet Rios Serbellon, is survived by four children, according to the report.
Rios’ body will be returned to her native Honduras for burial, KHOU reports.
Police ask anyone with information to call (713) 308-3600.
