Houston police have released new details in the investigation of Unique Green, owner of a funeral home raided during an active service last month.
Green was listed as the president of ‘A Community Funeral Home,’ located at 2517 Wheeler Street. The raid, conducted by roughly 20 HPD officers on Nov. 21, involved a search warrant of the property.

Investigators say Green is now accused of orchestrating a theft of nearly $2 million, unlawfully operating a funeral home, and forgery.
The property that was being used as the funeral home had been rented to Green’s friend, Tricia Henderson, who was reportedly the only person authorized to access the location.
The new information stems from a Nov. 7 charge against Green related to filing a false lien against the property owner.
Court records indicate that Green “successfully obtained the estate” of a recently deceased man by pretending to be his wife. Investigators also allege that Green misled the family, pretending to provide funeral services while secretly acquiring the man’s property, bank accounts, and vehicles through fraudulent probate documents.
Investigators say the will and testament listed Green as the man’s surviving spouse, despite there being no record of Green having any connection to him prior to his death in June 2025.
“There is no record of Unique Mica Green being connected with the deceased until after his death,” police wrote in the warrant.
According to the warrant, the man’s body was discovered in an advanced state of decomposition, with his skin described as “leather-like” and no signs of trauma or foul play.
The man’s family, who had no knowledge of a spouse, children, or medical conditions, said they were contacted by someone claiming to be ‘Mica Battle’ — an alias investigators believe was used by Green — and were instructed to pay for funeral services via Zelle.
The warrant details Green’s use of fake identities and sham businesses, including a “Wingate Funeral Home” that does not exist. Authorities reportedly identified Green’s voice when calling the business.
The “Wingate” email address used to communicate with the family was also created at the start of the alleged con and later deleted during the investigation, records showed.
Investigators went to the address of the deceased man’s home on Nov. 13. There, they said they found Green with a group of roughly 15 men, some wearing ski masks. There were also massive rental dumpsters on site, and the men were throwing away large amounts of property.
The man’s family reportedly planned to fly to Houston earlier in the year, but investigators say Green instructed them not to, citing hazardous conditions in the home and promising a cleanup crew, while continuing to receive payments totaling over $6,000.
Bank records show multiple transfers from the man’s accounts to Green’s totaling more than $1.9 million, including a $1.3 million wire transfer executed five days after Green gained control of the estate.
An investigator with the Texas Funeral Commission told HPD they are aware of Green and have several active cases affiliated with his accusations. The commission also said anyone working with Green to handle the deceased for ‘cremation’ is committing a serious offense.
Green was released on bond after being arrested on Nov. 7 on a misdemeanor forgery charge tied to the fake lien and is not currently in custody.
Details from the Nov. 21 raid
During the search, HPD officials seized computers, phones, documents, boxes of human remains, and cremation boxes from the property, records show.
A dozen cremains were recovered and placed in police custody, though investigators have not confirmed the whereabouts of the remains of the deceased man involved in the alleged scam.
Green was detained during the search, and authorities are reviewing potential new charges related to the expanded investigation.
