Federal authorities opened an investigation Monday into a possible homicide aboard a cruise ship docked in Texas. An FBI Maritime Liaison Agent assigned to the Texas City Resident Agency is coordinating the probe, working alongside the U.S. Coast Guard, the Port of Galveston Police Department and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, according to FOX 26 Houston. The cruise operator is also assisting the inquiry.
The focus is the MSC Seascape, which officials ordered back to Galveston after an incident on board. In a statement, MSC said: “On reporting a guest incident aboard our ship, we were instructed by the authorities to return to the Port of Galveston.” The company added that it is “cooperating fully with the investigation and providing support to those impacted.”
The ship didn't stay put for long. Port surveillance footage showed the Seascape leaving Galveston shortly after the first response, and MSC confirmed it “has since left the port and resumed its planned itinerary.”
Authorities have released no details about the victim or the circumstances surrounding the alleged crime. The case remains under investigation.
