Residents in the area found her body in a ditch around 8am.
The teen had been struck by a vehicle and left for dead, officials said. The body was identified as Charlie Gore of Dayton.
According to the Liberty County Sheriff's Office, it is believed Gore attended a party by the river in the area Friday night when a fight broke out.
Investigators said Gore was walking away from the fighting, headed down County Road 443 to F.M. 1409, when she was hit by an unknown vehicle and killed.
"It looks like the vehicle intentionally left the roadway and struck her," LCSO spokesperson Rex Evans said. "There are tire tracks in the grass."
Officials said evidence at the scene suggests the vehicle may have been gray or a dark metallic color.
Anyone with information should call LCSO or Crime Stoppers.
