Two teens accused of fatally stabbing mother of three in Texas working for Uber Eats

Two 14-year-old boys were arrested on Wednesday after police said they fatally stabbed an Uber Eats driver last week in a suburb of Fort Worth, Texas.

Ryan Munsie, 31, a mother of three, was trying to deliver food to a Haltom City apartment on Saturday when she was stabbed in the neck, according to Haltom City police. A resident of the building called 911 to report a “person lying in the walkway” with “obvious signs of trauma”.

Munsie was pronounced dead at the scene.

Members of the Haltom City SWAT team took the teens into custody without incident in Fort Worth on Wednesday.

“Haltom City detectives and agents have been working tirelessly since Saturday to develop leads and identify any suspects in this case,” police said in a statement. “Detectives were able to uncover evidence linking the two minors to the offense.”

The teens are being held at the Tarrant County Juvenile Justice Center and face capital murder charges. They are not identified because they are juvenile.

Police said the motive for the attack appeared to be theft.

Munsie left behind a husband and three children aged 5, 10 and 11, according to NBC Dallas-Fort Worth.

Haltom City Police Sgt. Eric Peters said she did not arrive at the door of the person whose food she was delivering, and that person was questioned and cleared.

He said the case was particularly worrying.

“Not only the fact that she is giving birth in our city, but also the fact that she now has three children who have no mothers,” said Peters. “But also, the fact that she’s just trying to make money in this difficult time, in this pandemic, so it’s sad.

A statement from Uber said: “We are deeply saddened by this horrific crime and our hearts go out to Ryan’s family and loved ones. We will cooperate with law enforcement to help you in any way we can. “
