The Road Rage Fatality of Louise Wilson

On December 10, 2023, 17-year-old Louise Jean Wilson drove through downtown Houston with two friends, chasing the sunrise in Galveston. Moments later, a sudden act of rage on the Pierce Elevated freeway ended her life. Shot through the heart, Louise still found the strength to steer her car to safety, saving others even as she lost her own fight for survival.

In this episode, Dr. Dee takes you inside Louise’s story: her vibrant life, her final act of courage, and the investigation that remains unsolved nearly two years later. We examine how her parents turned grief into advocacy, pushing for new Texas laws to combat road rage shootings and preserve crucial highway camera footage. We also explore why Houston has become America’s road rage capital, and what experts say we can do to prevent more tragedies.
