A Houston man was sentenced to 22 years in prison for killing a New Jersey man who was in town on vacation.
Prosecutors called it a "jealous ambush" when James Ray Lane shot and killed Gregory Moore in June 2021.
Moore, who was from New Jersey and on vacation with his friends, went out to multiple clubs and restaurants on the weekend of the shooting. They exchanged numbers with multiple people they met while they were out.
On the night of the shooting, Moore brought a woman back to his Airbnb in the Klein area, but as it turned out, it was Lane's girlfriend.
Lane tracked her phone and drove from southwest Houston up to the rental house on Braewin Court.

When Lane got to the house around 3:10 a.m., he ambushed his girlfriend and Moore, using a flashlight and handgun to attack. He fired nine shots in total. Lane's girlfriend survived the attack but Moore died. Investigators used phone data and witness accounts to identify Lane as the attacker. He was arrested a few days later.
