With profound sadness, family, friends, and loved ones are mourning the heartbreaking loss of Princella Ross, 65, a beloved mother and grandmother whose life was tragically cut short after gunfire struck her home on Houston’s south side.
Ross was discovered unresponsive inside her home on Beran Drive after a caregiver arrived to check on her. First responders were initially called at approximately 9:30 a.m. for what was believed to be a medical emergency, but Houston police later determined that Ross had suffered a gunshot wound.
Investigators believe the shooting may have occurred approximately nine or 10 hours before she was found, and authorities said no 911 call was made at the time of the gunfire. A family member shared that Ross initially believed the injury to her left arm was connected to her diabetes or insulin, before police determined that the wound was caused by a bullet.

Those who knew Ross are now left remembering the life she lived, the love she gave, and the memories she created with her family and friends. The pain of losing someone so suddenly is difficult to express, especially under such tragic circumstances.
As authorities continue investigating the events surrounding her death, loved ones are coming together to support one another and honor Princella’s memory.
