Who was Ryan Munsie Graham? Over $20,000 raised for Texas mom-of- three murdered while delivering Uber Eats
A married Texas mother of three was killed while dropping off an Uber Eats delivery on Saturday, January 23 night, according to authorities and a family friend. Ryan Munsie Graham, 31, was discovered dead in the breezeway of an apartment complex in Haltom City outside of Fort Worth at about 9:35 pm, according to police. A resident of the apartment complex called police at about 9.30 pm and said he found Graham with severe trauma in the breezeway in front of his home at the Northern Cross Apartments.
“She was delivering food to someone in that building,” Haltom City police Sgt. Eric Peters said. Graham did not make it to the customer’s door before she was murdered. The customer was questioned by police and cleared in the case, Peters said. “Not only the fact that she was delivering in our city but the fact that she had three children now that don’t have a mother,” Peters said. “But also, the fact that she’s just out trying to make money in this difficult time, in this pandemic, so it’s a sad deal.”
Graham had died at the scene. Her kids are aged between, 5, 10 and 11 and she got married three years ago, according to her friend, Bailey Ables who also raised a fundraiser in her friend's name. “She was always having a good time, making people laugh and was generous and kind,” Ables said speaking to FortWorth Star Telegram. “She was just a really good person.”
Ables and Graham first met when they worked at Wendy’s together seven years ago. Graham always made her coworkers laugh by popping off jokes in the middle of a rush. Ables recalled how she and Graham would go back to the freezer to talk. Ables ordained Graham’s wedding in 2017 when she married Cameron Graham. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner identified Graham as Ryan Munsie, which is her maiden name. Ables was not sure if Ryan had officially changed her last name or not. Graham and her family liked to make TikTok videos together.
A GoFundMe page has been created in order to raise money for Graham's funeral expenses and to help her family out. An amount of $23,000 has been raised from the $25,000 goal at the time of writing this story.
Graham also ran a large Facebook group about couponing and founded Graham Handmade — a craft company in which she customized tumblers. Her website states, " Thank you for your interest and business! Everything here, at Graham Handmade, is handmade; meaning, there will be no exact replica. There might be some tiny imperfections, but that just makes it unique and one of a kind! I put a lot of care, love, and time into these creations just for you."
“I’m still kind of in shock,” Ables said. “I hadn’t seen her in a little while. It hasn’t really hit me yet. The whole situation, I’’m just more confused and wondering why more than anything.”
