On the evening of July 27, 2024, 62-year-old Ginny Lee Bagby was fatally shot during an armed robbery at the TimeMax convenience store on the East Interstate 10 frontage road in the Cove area of Chambers County, Texas. Bagby was working as a store clerk when an assailant entered and, without provocation, shot her. She was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, where she later died.

Witnesses at the scene provided information that led deputies to locate and take a suspect into custody after a brief vehicle pursuit. The Chambers County Sheriff described the community as shocked and mourning the loss of a well-known and beloved local who had moved to Anahuac from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Detectives are continuing the investigation and are working with other agencies to determine whether the suspect may be linked to additional crimes.

If anyone knew Ginny, frequented that TimeMax location, or has information about the incident or events leading up to it, please come forward to assist the ongoing investigation.
