Galveston, Texas - A possible homicide aboard a cruise ship that departed a port in a coastal Texas city is being investigated by the FBI. Here's everything we know.

On Monday, the FBI informed the public in a post on X that the bureau is investigating a "suspected homicide" that occurred onboard an MSC Seascape cruise ship, which docked in Galveston, Texas, on Monday.

According to a statement by FBI Houston, it is customary for an FBI Maritime Liaison Agent based out of the Texas City Resident Agency to coordinate with the US Coast Guard (USCG), the Port of Galveston Police Department, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the named cruise line to investigate this potential crime.

"Since this is an ongoing investigation, no additional details will be provided," the FBI wrote in the statement.

There are several reports circulating on social media about what occurred and when. Houston-based news station KHOU 11 said MSC Seascape noted that after "reporting a guest incident aboard our ship, we were instructed by the authorities to return to the Port of Galveston." The cruise line says it is "cooperating fully with the investigation and providing support to those impacted.”

The ship had initially departed Houston on Sunday, November 8, around 4 PM and was heading to Mexico and Honduras. It was not scheduled to return until Sunday, November 15.

Despite unverified photos and videos circulating online, authorities have not publicly shared the identity of the person who died, how the suspected homicide occurred, or whether anyone has been officially detained.

Comments on posts in Facebook forums for MSC Seascape Galveston indicate the ship has left port to continue its original cruise. TAG24 has reached out to MSC Seascape for comment.
