Richard Rick Britton Sr., a 54-year-old man from Odessa, Texas, was shot and killed on December 25, 2019. Deputies from the Ector County Sheriff’s Office responded to a shooting at 16164 W. University and found Britton deceased at the scene.

The investigation concluded Britton had been shot by his stepdaughter, Jaylene Ann Green, after a family disturbance. Green, 26, was arrested and charged with murder. The prosecution described a heated argument that escalated into violence; an Ector County jury later found Green guilty and she was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

The case drew attention because the killing involved close family members and drew testimony from relatives and law enforcement about what led to the shooting. Does anyone have additional information about the days leading up to the disturbance or knew the family and can help fill in details?
