Missing Dancer Last Seen At Bar Was A Witness In Capital Murder Case

HOUSTON, Texas- A woman who went missing after she was last seen leaving a bar was a witness in a capital murder case, according to reports.

Deundra Ford, 21, was last seen alive leaving her job as a stripper at Diva’s Bikini Sports Bar & Grill around 1 a.m. on September 21, a day before one of the suspects in the murder case was formally indicted, according to FOX 26 Houston.

Ford’s life was threatened, according to the probable cause affidavit filed in June against Jarrell Travon Wheeler, who is one of four suspects in the fatal shooting of Otis Parker back in May, the outlet reports.

“Bro, that h-o ain’t save (sic) in Houston… at all,” one of the suspects allegedly texted someone on May 18, referring to Ford, according to the affidavit.

Ford was in the front passenger seat of Parker’s car around 4:30 a.m. on May 18 when gunfire erupted.

Ford was almost hit by bullets, but she was able to escape out of the back passenger side unharmed. Parker was shot and killed.

She went missing on Sept. 21, a day before Wheeler was indicted. Police say she got into a white van after work with a customer. Video footage reportedly shows Ford sitting with the customer in the van for about an hour before they drove off in a direction where the club had no cameras.
Authorities haven’t released any video footage.
Ford is a mother to a 4-year-old boy.
