Kera Laneigh Teel, 19, was fatally shot on June 6, 2017, in the parking lot of the Sienna Trails Apartments in Beaumont, Texas. She was seven months pregnant; her daughter Kyndal Jae Teel was born but died shortly after. Kera is survived by her husband Andrew Teel and another daughter, Alaya Teel. Her parents are Mindy Chambliss Morris and Justin Morris.

The shooter was identified as 14-year-old Corey Spencer, who admitted to pulling the trigger during an attempted robbery. Two accomplices were named: 21-year-old Dustin Bernard and 15-year-old Johnny Phifer. The three had been connected to a string of car burglaries and robberies that summer. At sentencing, Spencer received life with no parole for 30 years and Bernard received a 50-year sentence; Phifer had not yet been to trial.

Kera’s family and the community have been deeply affected; her mother spoke at sentencing about the loss. Does anyone have information about the events in that parking lot or knew Kera’s movements that night?
