Family seeking justice 6 years after loved one's killing
Six years after her death, the family of Liz Barraza is speaking out about her death.
HARRIS COUNTY, Texas - Six years after her death, the family of Liz Barraza is speaking out about her death and their hopes for justice.
Loved ones say they will never stay silent until she receives justice.
"Grief comes in waves. Sometimes it’s little waves that come at your feet, and sometimes it’s a tsunami," said Bob Nuelle, Liz's father.
Bob and Rosemary Nuelle continue to live their worst nightmare, six years after their daughter Liz was gunned down in her driveway.
"Anything and everything will kind of jump out at you, and you will feel that pain," said Rosemary Nuelle.

The backstory:
Liz Barazza was murdered Jan. 25, 2019 while setting up a garage sale in her driveway in the 8600 block of Cedar Walk Drive.
Just before 7 a.m., authorities say the 29-year-old was approached by someone who shot her multiple times and then fled in a dark-colored Nissan Frontier pickup truck.
Her then-husband, Sergio Barazza, says he was not home when he got a notification on his phone about a tripped alarm. After, Barazza says he was also able to watch the video of the suspect killing his wife.

What they're saying:
Over the last six years, Sergio says he too feels pain like her parents, missing her daily and seeking justice. All the while, he says he fights to maintain his innocence.
"I've always kept Liz in my heart, and I always will. But I've kept going in my life. Trying to think of somebody who did this to her that might be close to me, that I might be friends with, that I might live with. I have no idea," Sergio said. "I've not been okay with it, but just there's nothing I can do about it. So I've just continued to show that I'm an open book to the police, that I'm here to, to do whatever I can to solve this."
Crime Stoppers offers reward up to $50K
Andy Kahan, Crime Stoppers director of victim services, says this case will remain open as long as they keep getting tips.
"Grief is intensified when justice is lacking and, sadly, right now justice is lacking for Liz and her family," Kahan said.
Kahan said over the last six years law enforcement has put in time, effort and resources to bring Liz's case to justice.
"They want nothing more than to get this case solved. They've done everything possible with technology, with Google search maps, with the phones being checked on, with cameras being checked on, with plates being checked on. Obviously, the truck that was involved, we don't know if it was a male or female that came up to Liz and blank shot her four times," Kahan said.
