Diana Ruth Money, 43, was one of five people shot to death during a rapid, fatal attack at an apartment party in Channelview, Texas, on November 13, 1997. The shootings occurred at the apartment of Gloria Jean Coons, who was among the victims. The attacker, Coy Wayne Wesbrook, arrived at the gathering, left to retrieve a hunting rifle from his truck, then opened fire, killing five people in roughly 40 seconds.

Wesbrook had divorced Coons in 1996; they continued to see one another and had lived together until August 1997. At trial it was shown he had a history of violent behavior and had allegedly tried previously to have other people killed while jailed. He was arrested at the scene, convicted of capital murder, and later executed by lethal injection on March 10, 2016.

What details about that night or the victims’ lives are still unclear to readers who remember Channelview in 1997, or who knew Diana Ruth Money?
