A former investigator with the Ft. Bend County Sheriff’s Office has been accused of driving a motorcycle while intoxicated in a wreck that killed his colleague. And both his and her Facebook Pages seem to suggest the two were more than colleagues.
Fort Bend County sheriff's deputies have charged Moses Perez with intoxicated manslaughter with a vehicle, following an internal affairs investigation.
The crash happened in Katy back in October of last year. Investigator Shelley Nicodemus, 45, was a passenger on the motorcycle when it crashed on the feeder road of Interstate 10 near Pin Oak Road.
Detectives said Perez appeared to have hit a curb, causing the motorcycle to skid.
Nicodemus' body was found about 30 feet from the motorcycle, investigators said. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Perez was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital. He suffered head and back injuries.
According to deputies, the internal affairs investigation showed that Perez was in violation of sheriff’s office policy. That finding was followed by an order for termination at the sheriff’s office on Feb. 22.
As is often the case, Perez decided to retire from the sheriff’s office effective Feb. 22 in lieu of termination, deputies said.
On Monday, Perez was indicted by the Fort Bend County Grand Jury and turned himself in at the Fort Bend County Jail on Wednesday morning. He was released after posting bail on a $10,000 bond, deputies said.
Perez was a detective in the burglary and theft unit of the criminal investigations division. He had been with the sheriff's office in various assignments since July 2, 1990.
Nicodemus worked in the special crimes unit and the criminal investigation division. She had been with the sheriff's office for about 20 years.
