Tina Cappa, a 52-year-old Hispanic bookkeeper, was shot and killed in New Caney, Texas, on March 9, 2019. She worked at 59 Marine, a boat shop in New Caney, and was the roommate of the shop’s owner, Jimmy Don Lane. On the evening of her death Lane and Cappa had an argument; Lane, who had been drinking, called 911 saying he had shot an intruder. When officers arrived they found Cappa had been shot in the face with a 12-gauge shotgun.

Lane first told police the shooting was accidental, saying he and Cappa had heard voices outside, that he retrieved a shotgun from his bedroom and that it accidentally discharged while he walked toward Cappa. Investigators found bloodstain patterns and other evidence that contradicted his account, and the state noted prior threats Lane had made with firearms. Lane was arrested and charged with Cappa’s murder.

Does anyone have information about Tina’s last days at 59 Marine or knew her social circle in New Caney?
