James Gregory McDonald, 52, was shot to death at his Odessa, Texas, home on March 2, 2016. He was the market president of Security Bank in Odessa and was described as a man dedicated to his family and career. His wife, Jana Lou McDonald, was also killed in the same incident.

Investigators found that the couple’s son, James Gabriel Gabe McDonald, then 17, admitted to shooting both parents. He was charged with capital murder and later entered a guilty plea, receiving a 50-year prison term with parole eligibility after 25 years. Their daughter Grace McDonald was initially indicted on capital murder and conspiracy charges; those charges were dropped for lack of sufficient evidence. A memorial service was held for James and Jana McDonald.
