Rhoda Frances Freeman Wheeler, 46, was shot and killed at the Mi-T-Fine Car Wash in Irving, Texas, on March 20, 2000. She worked there as a cashier. The attack took place when a former employee, Robert Wayne Harris, who had been fired three days earlier, returned early in the morning and demanded access to the safe. When his demands were not met, he opened fire, killing Wheeler and four others: Augustin Villasenor, 36; Benjamin Villasenor, 32; Dennis Lee, 48; and Roberto Jimenez Jr., 15.

Harris was arrested and charged with capital murder in the deaths of Wheeler and Augustin Villasenor. During proceedings he made statements to police, a family member, and the media about his actions; he initially pleaded not guilty but was found guilty by a jury. The prosecution argued motive included hatred, revenge, and greed, and Harris received a death sentence. Charity McFadden, Wheeler’s daughter, publicly said she hoped Harris would receive the death penalty.
