In June 1992, six people were shot inside a southwest Houston home in what police believe was a drug-related robbery.
Thursday evening in Huntsville one of three people convicted of the murders is scheduled to die by lethal injection.
“As I walked across and was going in my house, I felt a gun on my back and he said, ‘Keep going because we already have your family inside. You scream or anything, we’re going to shoot you right here,’” Rachel said. During an initial interview with police, Rachel was evasive as to why her family was targeted. Rachel was first interviewed in the hospital and detectives recorded that interview.“I know he uses it, but I don’t know if he was ever dealing in them,” she said.“No, he had my daughter’s with him, he took them to see my in-laws,” Rachel said.
“It was due to drugs, we hadn’t seen them for a while,” Rachel said during a recent interview with KPRC 2.“Yeah, they had bought before,” she said.“Nope, he went to go get the product that they wanted,” Rachel said. “There’s no doubt in my mind they were there, they were there. They were the ones that did this to my family and myself.”
Harris County prosecutor Josh Reiss said that interview does not exonerate Brown and that testimony during the original trial established Hill was in Tuscaloosa the night of the murders. Reiss also said Brown’s prior defense teams were aware of this video. Peregoy also said medical records indicating Rachel had brain damage that could impact memory and the ability of the brain to receive visual information were not given to attorneys on a timely basis. Reiss said it was well known the surviving victims were taken to the hospital and defense attorneys could have requested those records for themselves. Reiss also said when Rachel and the other victim were discharged from the hospital doctors noted they were “neurologically intact.
