A woman sets up a garage sale in her own driveway at 7 AM. Her husband left for work minutes ago. A black Nissan truck pulls up. A figure in a long coat and boots walks toward her. She says good morning. Then the shooting starts.
On January 25, 2019, 29-year-old Elizabeth Liz Barraza was shot four times in front of her Tomball, Texas home while preparing for a garage sale to fund a fifth anniversary trip to Universal Studios [citation:5]. The killer approached, exchanged a few garbled words with her, opened fire with a revolver, then stood over her body to fire a final execution shot [citation:5]. Nothing was stolen. The cash box with $100 sat untouched [citation:1]. The killer drove a black 2013 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X, circled back to confirm death, and vanished [citation:4][citation:5].
Seven years later, no arrest has been made. A $50,000 reward stands unclaimed [citation:1]. Liz's father Bob Nuelle received a stage four cancer diagnosis in 2024 and now fights two battles: for his life and for justice. He still wears the same shirt from Liz's vigil. It now hangs loose on a body that has lost 150 pounds [citation:2]. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because the woman who said good morning to her killer deserves to have her name spoken until the truth comes out.
