The Driveway Execution Caught on Camera: Who Pulled the Trigger on Elizabeth Barraza?
About this episode
She was setting up for a garage sale at sunrise. Minutes later, she was dead.
On January 25, 2019, 29-year-old Elizabeth Barraza stepped into her driveway in Tomball, Texas, ready for a weekend of fundraising and fun. What happened next was caught on camera—but the killer remains a mystery. Wearing a disguise, the shooter approached Liz, fired four rounds at point-blank range, and vanished without a trace. No arrest. No clear motive. And no answers for the family and friends left behind.
In this episode, Arlene and Leah unravel the haunting timeline, dissect the chilling surveillance footage, and explore theories that range from personal vendettas to the perfect stranger murder. This is a case that feels solvable, but isn’t.
If you think you know what happened to Elizabeth Barraza, you might want to listen twice.
