Samuel Shawn Berry, 53, of Abilene, Texas, was killed at his home in the 200 block of Miss Ellie Lane on January 20, 2022. Police responding to a disturbance just after midnight found Berry lying face up on a bed, covered in blood; a 43-year-old woman with a gunshot wound was on a living room couch and a 32-year-old man had a stab wound to the shoulder.

Court documents say the violence followed a domestic dispute. Matthew Marquez, 37, is identified as the primary suspect. Authorities allege Marquez stabbed the 32-year-old during an argument; while the stabbed man cleaned his wound, Marquez’s wife retrieved the man’s firearm to secure it in her vehicle. Marquez reportedly confronted her, took the gun, pointed it at Berry, and shot him multiple times — including a fatal shot to the face — then shot his wife when she intervened.

Marquez was detained at the scene and later charged with murder and two counts of aggravated assault; a grand jury indicted him on one count of murder and two counts of aggravated assault, and a motion for a psychiatric evaluation was filed to assess competency to stand trial. Does anyone have information about the people involved or witnessed the events at the Miss Ellie Lane residence?
