Ladonna Gist, a 42-year-old African American woman, was killed on July 31, 2015, at the City Inn Suites on South Ewing Avenue in Dallas, where she worked as a motel manager. Police found her body at the bottom of a flight of stairs; she had suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators say 36-year-old Estevan Lara fired the shots. Witnesses reported Lara had been shot by his brother a month earlier and was on edge. On the night of the shooting Lara allegedly believed his brother was behind his motel-room door and, in a state of panic, fired multiple rounds through the door, striking Gist outside. Lara was arrested and charged with murder; bail was set at $750,000.

Witness testimony and the surrounding circumstances formed the core of the case against Lara. The shooting is described as a tragic mistake rooted in fear and paranoia. Does anyone have information about Gist, the motel, or what happened that night?
