Elizabeth Rivera was a 12-year-old student at Memorial Middle School in Laredo, Texas, who was shot and killed on August 29, 1995. He followed her into a restroom, pointed the gun at her head and pulled the trigger; Elizabeth laughed and tried to push the gun away before being struck.

Band director Wes Evans heard the shot, found Elizabeth in the bathroom, and alerted the office; police and paramedics responded and she was airlifted to Mercy Regional Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 10:45 p.m. Jonah fled but was later arrested at home; his charge was upgraded from attempted murder to murder the next day. The school later renamed the band room in her memory.

Who knew Elizabeth or has information about that day who can help clarify any remaining questions?
