Gloria resided with her roommate, a white male who found her in the garage Sunday, July 12, 2020,” the post reads.

“Gloria went missing Thursday and supposedly died in that garage the same day July 9. Gloria’s body was in that garage for 3 days, where people resided, and repairs were made.

The McKinney department noted that Bambo, 20, was found hanging by her “19-year-old male roommate.”
It did not provide details on when or where she was found.

A twitter handle tweeted a supposed statement from the unnamed roommate, who claimed Bambo was living with mental health issues like bipolar and anxiety disorders.

The roommate also claimed Bambo was estranged from her family and had recently been fired from her job.

The Collin County NAACP tweeted at the McKinney Police Department demanding further results from the investigation.

They said they would not “accept the sole statement from the roommate.”

@McKinneyPolice We look forward to the family receiving the results of the autopsy, photos from the scene, statement from the roommate, and release of the handwriting analysis of the letter. We will not accept the sole statement from the roommate . We will seek justice!”
