RICHMOND, TX — The Fort Bend County Crime Stoppers has increased the reward to $15,000 for information that leads to the arrest of the person who shot and killed a 38-year old woman as she drove home on Dec. 5.

Lieu Nguyen was shot to death in what investigators believe may have been a road rage incident.

At 7:40 p.m., the Sheriff’s Office received a 9-11 call from the victim's ex-husband who said that his ex-wife had called him and and told him she'd been shot.

Deputies went to the intersection of Addicks-Clodine Road and Bissonnet in the Houston area of Fort Bend County, where they found the body of an Asian female, identified as Lieu Nguyen, in the front seat of her Toyota Camry.

Nguyen, who worked at an insurance agency, left work at about 6 p.m., and drove to a nearby grocery store.

On her way home, investigators believe she got into some type of disagreement on the road, and was subsequently shot several times.
