Edna "Coco" McWhorter, a 29-year-old woman from Channelview, Texas, tragically lost her life on September 1, 2018. She was found lying in the parking lot of a Channelview nightclub with a gunshot wound to the chest. The incident occurred early in the morning, and witnesses reported seeing her arguing with Jerry Wayne Greer, also known as Rick, before he shot her and fled the scene in a dark-colored Ford Mustang.
Jerry Wayne Greer, a 38-year-old man, was charged with McWhorter's murder.
According to court documents, Greer shot McWhorter at very close range and then escaped. Prior to this incident, Greer had a history of violent behavior, including a felony charge of domestic assault for assaulting an ex-girlfriend. McWhorter had reported Greer to the police for sexual assault, which is believed to be the motive behind the shooting.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office has been actively searching for Greer, who remains at large. The U.S. Marshals Service Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Task Force has joined the search, urging anyone with information on Greer's whereabouts to come forward. McWhorter's family has been vocal about seeking justice for her death, emphasizing the impact on her three young children, the oldest being only 10 years old.
The case has drawn significant attention, with McWhorter's family and friends calling for justice and urging the public to help locate Greer. The family has also set up a fundraiser to cover funeral expenses and support the children left behind. Despite the ongoing investigation and efforts to find Greer, the case remains unresolved, leaving McWhorter's loved ones in a state of grief and uncertainty.
