Anne Mae Miculka Bennatt, a 70-year-old retired nurse, was shot and killed on October 11, 1983, in Hempstead, Fort Bend County, Texas. Her death was part of a wider spree carried out that day by Eliseo Hernandez Moreno, who used a .357-caliber Magnum during the rampage.

Moreno’s violence began in College Station, where he murdered his brother-in-law Juan Garza and Garza’s wife, Esther, then continued on the highway when Texas Department of Public Safety trooper Russell Lynn Boyd stopped him for a traffic violation; Boyd was shot multiple times, including a fatal head wound. In Hempstead Moreno also killed Anne Mae, her sister Allie Wilkins, 79, and her brother-in-law James Bennatt, 62.

Moreno was arrested the same day. He was later sentenced to death and executed by lethal injection on March 4, 1987. Anyone who knew Anne Mae or the family, or who has information about how the community was affected that day, please share what you remember.
