Kyle Jacob Armer, 27, of Odessa, Texas, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of September 14, 2017. Officers found him deceased at 3117 Andrews Highway, in the parking lot of a T&T Doughnuts shop. The Odessa Police Department and the Texas Rangers opened a homicide investigation.

Authorities identified 25-year-old Nathon Gaytan as the primary suspect and sought him on charges of murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Gaytan was later taken into custody. While in jail he was attacked by other inmates, treated at Medical Center Hospital in Odessa, and returned to the Ector County Detention Center. He was awaiting trial on the charges related to Armer’s death.

The community followed the case closely as investigators and prosecutors prepared the next steps in court. Does anyone have information about the shooting or the area around T&T Doughnuts that night?
