Patricia Ann Baze Marquez, 59, of Seminole, Texas, was fatally shot in the head on March 4, 2017. The shooting began as a domestic altercation that escalated after Jacob R. Groening, identified as her son-in-law, allegedly threatened and shot his wife, Patricia’s daughter, in the hand. Patricia was struck in the crossfire and died of her injuries.

Authorities say the violence began at a restaurant in Seminole and continued at Groening’s residence. Groening was arrested soon after and charged with capital murder, aggravated assault on a family member with a deadly weapon, and attempted capital murder; a grand jury indictment and subsequent trial followed. Multiple agencies including the Seminole Police Department, the Gaines County Sheriff’s Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety were involved.

Patricia was remembered as a health care provider and as a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
