Jesse Sanchez, 52, was shot and killed in a parking lot in Odessa, Texas, shortly after 1:30 a.m. on October 31, 2021. He had been at Agave Bar and was walking to his car at 4555 E University Boulevard when the shooting occurred. He was taken to Medical Center Hospital but succumbed to his injuries. Born December 26, 1968, in San Antonio del Bravo, Mexico, Sanchez lived in Odessa with his spouse, Gabriela Franco and is survived by two daughters, one sister, four brothers, and three grandchildren.

Investigators linked shell casings at the scene to an AR-15 style rifle and a handgun recovered in a Nissan Altima. Two men, Cristian Escarcega, 24, and Martin Monge Hernandez, 19, were arrested and charged with murder and evading arrest after a pursuit by the Odessa Police Department and the Ector County Sheriff’s Office. An Ector County jury convicted Cristian Escarcega and sentenced him to life in prison; proceedings for Martin Monge Hernandez were pending as of the latest dated information.

Does anyone have information about that night or recalls seeing a Nissan Altima near Agave Bar around 1:30 a.m. on October 31, 2021?
