Gloria Jean Coons, 32, was fatally shot at her apartment in Channelview, Texas, on November 13, 1997. The shooting occurred during a party she was hosting; her ex-husband, Coy Wayne Wesbrook, attended aiming to reconcile and left in anger after seeing Coons with two other men. Neighbors heard multiple gunshots around 2 a.m. and found the victims, then called 911.

Wesbrook returned with a .30-06 hunting rifle and shot Coons and four others that night: Diana Ruth Money, Antonio Cruz, Anthony Ray Rogers, and Kelly Hazlip. He was arrested at the scene and later confessed, saying he had been provoked. The prosecution relied on his confession, witness testimony, and forensic evidence in the case.

Wesbrook was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death. Does anyone have memories of the neighborhood, the victims, or information about that night that could add context to what happened?
