Mina Rosenthal-Eames, 31, a second-year student at the University of Texas Dental Branch, was shot and killed on August 20, 2007, as she walked to her car near her Reliant Park-area home in Houston. Her estranged husband, 35-year-old Clifton Eames, ambushed her, fired multiple rounds into her body, then placed her in his car and drove to St. Mark’s Episcopal Church on the South Side.

At the church Clifton Eames asked workers to summon police. When officers from West University and Southside Place arrived, Eames opened fire on them; the officers returned fire and killed him. The couple had been separated and Mina had filed for divorce earlier that summer; a divorce-related hearing was scheduled the day after her death. Reports describe growing marital tension and control issues, and their two sons, ages 9 and 12, were with Clifton’s parents in Baton Rouge at the time.

Mina’s funeral was held at McCoy and Harrison Funeral Home and her family urged other victims of domestic abuse to seek help. Does anyone have information about Mina, the couple’s relationship, or the events leading up to August 20, 2007?
