Shon Nelson Beck was 28 when he was shot and died on March 27, 2014, at Medical Center Hospital in Odessa. He was born May 16, 1985, in Odessa and was baptized at Rose of Sharon Baptist Church. He is survived by his parents, Madeline Beck and Larry Mayberry; brothers DeMonte Smith and Timothy Crosby; and children Joseph, Paloma, Shonetta, Riley, DaeSean and Zi'Drevion.

On the day of his death Beck and Joshua Tolivar were both shot in the 900 block of Snyder in Odessa. Two men, Tre’on Majors and Venshard Douglas, were arrested and charged with first-degree murder; Majors was already in U.S. Marshals custody on unrelated charges when the murder charge was filed and Douglas was arrested in Temple, Texas. An Ector County jury later found Tre’on Majors not guilty on all charges. Beck’s funeral took place at Rose of Sharon Baptist Church and he was buried in the Rosehill section of Ector County Cemetery.

If anyone knew Shon, his routines, or saw activity in the 900 block of Snyder around the time of the shootings, please share what is known.
