FBI probing 'suspected homicide' on cruise ship docked in Texas

The FBI is investigating a “suspected homicide” aboard the MSC Seascape cruise ship after it docked in Texas on Monday, the bureau said. The alleged incident occurred on the vessel, which returned to the Port of Galveston after departing the day before. According to the FBI Houston field office, an FBI Maritime Liaison Agent based out of the Texas City Resident Agency is coordinating with multiple agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard, the Galveston Police Department, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the cruise line. The ship had been scheduled for a seven-day trip to Mexico and Honduras, but the voyage was cut short.
