which she lived with her parents.&nbsp; The 30-year-old molecular genetics student, Gelareh Irani, was killed by one bullet to the head that entered the car via the passenger window as she talked to her ex-boyfriend on her old cell phone.&nbsp; The car she was driving then smashed into a garage door just meters from her parents\u2019 home in the townhouse community, which is situated just southwest of Houston, Texas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>Video footage taken from a surveillance camera belonging to a neighbor is now being examined by the Houston Police Department.&nbsp; The killer has yet to be found and the police currently have no idea whether the murder was motivated by robbery or just completely random.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>Sergeant JC Padilla, from the Houston Police Department, told My Fox News that Irani\u2019s ex-boyfriend is not considered a suspect and he is cooperating with investigators in the capacity of a witness to the shocking crime.&nbsp; \u201cWe\u2019re interviewing him, and at this point there\u2019s really nothing to indicate that he\u2019s a suspect or even a person of interest.\u201d Police are hoping Irani\u2019s ex-boyfriend may have overheard something during their last conversation that could explain the murder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>The local community is stunned at such a violent murder taking place in a neighborhood normally so quiet that \u201cyou don\u2019t even hear the traffic\u201d, as one resident put it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A young woman was murdered
