In 1991, Harris County purchased a building for approximately half a million
dollars at 3599 Westcenter in the Westchase area. The building previously housed
a finance company. Commissioner Radack completely renovated the building and
converted it to a new community center for Precinct 3.
The Commissioner named the new center for Tracy Gee, a young woman who was
murdered by a carjacker. Tracy Gee was 22 when she was shot to death as she
drove home from work early in the morning of September 5, 1990. Commissioner
Radack said that he felt criminals too often get publicity while crime victims
are forgotten. He said he believed it was important that young Tracy be
remembered.
Lionell Rodriguez, Tracy’s killer, was sentenced to death and executed in June
07.
The Tracy Gee Community Center was dedicated to the memory of his victim and
opened to the public September 17, 1993.
