Anthony Rogers, 41, was one of five people killed in Channelview, Texas, on November 13, 1997. The killings occurred after Coy Wayne Wesbrook, then 51 and a former security guard, went to the apartment of his ex-wife, Gloria Jean Coons, reportedly intending to reconcile. Wesbrook encountered Coons along with Anthony Rogers and two others, and the situation escalated; all five victims were fatally shot in a span of about 40 seconds.

Wesbrook was tried in 1998 and convicted of capital murder for the deaths of Coons, Antonio Cruz, Anthony Ray Rogers, Diana Ruth Money, and Kelly Hazlip. At trial Wesbrook said he lost control after what he saw in the apartment; prosecutors said his account did not fit the evidence. The case drew attention for the number of victims and the rapid, brutal nature of the killings.

Does anyone have information about Anthony Rogers’s life in Channelview or recall the events of November 13, 1997?
