A memorial bench will be dedicated to Elizabeth "Liz" Barraza, who was murdered in 2019. The "We Remember Memorial Bench" event, organized by Precinct 3 Commissioner Tom Ramsey's Office, Crime Stoppers of Houston, and Barraza's family, will take place at Burroughs Park in Tomball on Thursday at 10 a.m. The ceremony will include community members and law enforcement, as reported by Click2Houston.
Six years ago, Barraza was shot at point-blank range while preparing for a garage sale outside her home. Surveillance footage shows a person in a wig, long jacket, and boots approaching her from a black Nissan Frontier, shooting her four times, and fleeing. The shooting, which was premeditated, left no stolen items, and the shooter used a revolver to eliminate shell casings. The shooter remains at large, as detailed by ABC13.
Sergio Barraza, husband of Liz Barraza, has urged, "We need answers," and described her as, "Liz was a beautiful person with the kindest soul." Liz's father, Bob Nuelle Jr., recalled her life of service, including her involvement with the 501st Legion, and noted she had no known enemies. The case remains unsolved, with a $50,000 reward from Crime Stoppers for information leading to an arrest. Liz's parents continue to seek answers through the website WhoKilledLizBarraza, and a memorial bench honors her while encouraging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS, as stated by ABC13.
