Kelly Lee Hazlip, a 28-year-old man from Channelview, Texas, was one of five people killed in a mass shooting at the apartment of his ex-wife, Gloria Jean Coons, on November 13, 1997. The shooter, Coy Wayne Wesbrook, returned to the apartment after seeing Coons and others at a party; he testified at trial that he had been humiliated by witnessing Coons having sex with two other men. Wesbrook retrieved a hunting rifle from his truck and, according to trial testimony, shot and killed all five victims within about 40 seconds.

Wesbrook was convicted of capital murder in 1998 and later sentenced to death; his execution was carried out on March 9, 2016. The killings devastated the victims’ families and the local community and drew extensive media and legal attention during the ensuing appeals.

If anyone knew Kelly Lee Hazlip or was at the Coons apartment that night, please share what you remember.
