The Daily Beast reported that the Texas teen was identified as a "young white woman fleeing the scene in a white, four-door sedan." She is currently at large and has quite the rap sheet.

In September 2020, the Texas teen was charged with the murder of 20-year-old Sierra Rhodd, who suffered from cerebral palsy. However, the charges were dropped after prosecutors were unable to convincingly tie her to the case.

The Houston Chronicle reported that she was suspected to have broken into a Harris County Sheriff’s Office detention officer’s car and stealing his jacket where his debit card was in his pocket. She pleaded guilty to theft of property in March 2020. Throw away the key on this 1!

Meanwhile, Devin Graham's grandfather is under police protection

"The manhunt is on, and it’s very close to home,” Norman Graham told the site, adding that he wasn't at liberty to speak further.

He further added:

"I don't understand any of it, how anybody could be that way. I don’t know how the devil can reach up and win on things like that, but he did. And I don't know how anybody can think that this kind of behavior from anyone is correct."

The case continues to be under investigation.
