  • Willie Lee Gunn, 48

  • Elijah Zane Carroll, 9
  • Chrystale Rayshell Cobbin, 4
  • Amiyah LaShae Rose Fisher, 2

Eduardo Gonzalez, 19, was allegedly driving under the influence when his black Chevy Camaro, traveling north, collided with the rear of the sedan carrying the five victims. Gonzalez was hospitalized with serious injuries but was later released and taken into custody. He now faces five counts of intoxication manslaughter.

Days after the crash, Gunn's widow vowed to fight drunk driving during an interview with CBS News Texas.
