On the evening of July 29, 2015, Tana Shane, 47, and her husband Jason Shane Jr. stopped near Pryor, Montana, to help what appeared to be a stranded motorist. They were accompanied by their 26-year-old daughter Jorah. The driver produced a gun and demanded money; when the family said they had none, the situation escalated and both Tana and Jason were shot and killed. Jorah was wounded as she tried to flee.

The shooter was later identified as 18-year-old Jesus Yeizon Deniz and was apprehended in Wyoming. During questioning by the FBI, Deniz said he shot the victims because he was tired of waiting and because their daughter had laughed at him. Deniz was charged with two counts of murder. Tana was a member of the Crow Tribe and left behind seven children and several grandchildren.

Does anyone have memories of the Shanes or information about that night that could add to the record?
