Leza Marie Maddalone, 31, was fatally shot in the parking lot of a Pearland bank on August 15, 2005, at about 7 p.m. She had celebrated her 31st birthday five days earlier. Her mother, Debra Sanchez, was also shot the night before, August 14, 2005, and suffered wounds severe enough to leave her in a coma for several months.

Authorities charged 35-year-old Bruce Glen Milner of Brazoria County with Maddalone’s murder. Milner and Maddalone were involved in a contentious divorce and child custody dispute. A witness called police after the shootings; Milner was taken into custody and charged with murder and resisting arrest. Investigators say Maddalone was shot with a 9 mm handgun. Bond was set at $500,000 on the murder charge and $15,000 on the resisting arrest charge.

Maddalone’s two young children, a 7-year-old boy and a 6-year-old girl, were at the scene but were unharmed and were placed with family members. Does anyone have information about Leza, her children, or the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
