''Choice was killed on Dec. 9, 2005, in a vacant unit of what was once the Willows of Woodhaven apartment complex located at 5855 Goldenwood Dr. in Fort Worth. Police records state the mother-of-four's body was found lying on a back bedroom floor with her pants pulled down to her feet. She was struck in the head with an unknown object and left in a pool of her own blood.

In a 2022 interview, Fort Worth police detective Thomas O'Brien said the motive was most likely sexual assault; however, nothing can be ruled out.''

''Gloria Choice was murdered in east Fort Worth 20 years ago, but her family still gathers every Sept. 12 to celebrate her birthday. “She’s not here physically, but she is here in our hearts,” said Scotti Choice, Gloria’s oldest son. The 57-year-old mother and grandmother was found beaten to death in a vacant Woodhaven apartment on Dec. 9, 2005. A suspect was arrested in March 2012 but released a week later due to lack of evidence.''

Gloria was found beaten to death in a vacant apartment at 5816 Boca Raton Blvd. on Dec. 9, 2005. A suspect was arrested in 2012, but police released him a short time later for lack of evidence.

''He’d also like to see detectives re-interview people they talked to immediately after the murder. Somebody knows something, Choice said. Maybe they’d be willing to share this time around. “I know it’s a lot of cases and stuff — they can’t just work everybody’s case like that,” Choice said. “But I quite believe, sure, that my mom’s case could be solved.”
