Unique Mica Green‑Battle, the director of a Houston funeral home, appeared in court on Friday facing multiple felony charges tied to a scheme that allegedly siphoned more than $2.2 million from the estate of deceased Lawrence Gammon.
The charges assert that Green‑Battle forged a range of documents—including a counterfeit will, a falsified death certificate, and fabricated probate filings—to position himself as Gammon’s spouse and successor, thereby gaining control of the estate.
In November 2025, law enforcement executed a search warrant on Green‑Battle’s business after family members raised concerns about the improper handling of bodies and potential fraud. During the search, investigators uncovered human organs stored in a bucket and several boxes of cremated remains.
The funeral home had been operating without a valid license, as its registration lapsed in 2021 and was formally revoked in August 2025.
At the bond hearing, a judge set an $800,000 bail amount. Green‑Battle was released after posting the required sum.
Court records dating back to 1998 list Green‑Battle under varying names and gender identifiers, but no definitive confirmation of gender identity or preferred pronouns has been established.
After the hearing, Green‑Battle addressed reporters in a confrontational manner, refusing to answer questions, using profanity, and repeatedly claiming celebrity status while insulting journalists.
When questioned about the organs found during the search, he made a dismissive remark, suggesting they were intended for the reporters’ consumption.
Investigators are concentrating on identity theft involving the deceased and alleged exploitation of contractual information to defraud families.
The case underscores ongoing concerns about fraud within the funeral industry and highlights the need for stringent regulatory oversight to protect grieving families.
