Elena Shea, 25, of Allen, Texas, was fatally shot in Dallas on July 9, 2014. Born October 17, 1988, in Plano, she worked as a retail cashier and is survived by her mother Judy Faye Shea, brother David Shea, sister Crystal Rabb, and other relatives and friends.

The shooting happened about 2:45 a.m. at the Royal Inn in North Dallas. Elena and Christopher Whitley, 39, were involved in an altercation with a man on a motel balcony when that man shot them and fled. Elena died en route to Parkland Memorial Hospital; Whitley was left in critical condition. Police said the incident might have been drug-related.

Does anyone have information about Elena, the Royal Inn incident that night, or the people who were present on the balcony?
