According to Balcones Heights Police Chief John Jahanara, police received a call from the victim asking them to help kick her son, 55-year-old Michael Wayne Curbow, out of her apartment after they got into an argument.

When police arrived, however, Curbow had already left. The woman was found beat to death.

A neighbor said Wednesday that Curbow and his mother argued often, while another said she feels unsafe knowing he hasn’t been arrested yet.
