FBI Houston is responding to an alleged homicide that occurred on the cruise ship MSC Seascape, which docked in Galveston on Monday.
According to an emailed statement from FBI officials in Houston, an FBI maritime liaison officer based at the Texas City Resident Agency is working with the U.S. Coast Guard, Galveston Port Police Department, Customs and Border Protection and the cruise line regarding this incident.
FBI officials in Houston said they could not provide additional details Monday morning because the investigation is ongoing.
“After reporting an incident aboard our ship, we were asked by authorities to return to the port of Galveston. We are fully cooperating with the investigation and providing support to those affected. The ship has since left port and returned to its scheduled route,” an MSC Cruises spokesperson said in a statement to Houston Public Media on Monday morning.
This is a developing story.
