Brandon Lee Russell, 24, was shot and killed on September 30, 2015, in Odessa, Texas, while working for West Texas Auto Recovery. He and a co-worker, 27-year-old Jimmy Tilghman, were attempting to repossess a car at Acacia Park Apartments when the vehicle’s owner, 29-year-old Khalifah Ibn Muhammad, confronted them. Witnesses heard several gunshots; police found Russell inside a black Nissan Sentra with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Medical Center Hospital and pronounced dead.

Muhammad was arrested the next morning at a truck stop and charged with murder. Later developments in the case resulted in a guilty finding and a life sentence. The incident underscores the risks faced by repossession agents and how quickly confrontations over a vehicle can turn deadly.

Did anyone in Odessa know Russell or witness the repossession that night and have more details to share?
