James Matthew Davidson was 23 when he died on October 17, 2021. He lived in Midland, Texas, was born September 22, 1998 in San Angelo, and is survived by his daughter Yaretzi Isabella. Friends and co-workers remembered him for his dedication to family and community.

On the night he died Davidson and two other men, Walter Ayala and Gilberto Tapia-Lopez, had been celebrating a friend’s birthday at a bar. The group later went to a residence shared by one of the victims and Kevin Alexis Martinez, who had been a roommate for about four months. Witnesses say Martinez got into a verbal argument with the three men, then allegedly walked outside with a rifle and began shooting. Davidson and the other two victims were pronounced dead at the scene.

Kevin Alexis Martinez, 23, was identified by three surviving witnesses and was taken into custody by the Hereford Police Department on October 21, 2021. He faced multiple capital murder charges and was held in the Midland County jail with bond set at $1 million for each charge. What details about the argument, the weapon, or motive can anyone who was there or knew those involved add?
