Dennis Lee, 48, was the manager of the Mi-T-Fine Car Wash in Irving, Texas, when he was killed on the morning of March 20, 2000. The attack occurred before the business opened; Lee was inside the car wash with assistant manager Augustin Villasenor and cashier Rhoda Wheeler when former employee Robert Wayne Harris arrived at about 7:15 a.m.

According to investigators and court records, Harris forced the employees into the office, ordered Wheeler to open the safe and took the money. He then made the three get onto the floor and shot each in the back of the head at close range. Lee was also attacked with a knife and suffered a slash to his throat. Harris went on to shoot additional employees who arrived for work, killing Benjamin Villasenor and Roberto Jimenez Jr. and leaving Octavio Ramos permanently disabled.

Harris was arrested the next day after investigators linked him to the scene, recovered discarded items he had hidden and obtained incriminating statements. He was charged with capital murder; a jury convicted him and imposed the death penalty at his Dallas County trial. Does anyone have memories of Mi-T-Fine or knew Dennis Lee and the other employees who worked there?
