On December 9, 2025, Jacob Martinez, a 9-year-old Latino boy, was among three family members killed in a targeted shooting at the 87th Street Apartments on Hunter Miller Way in Odessa, Texas. Officers found Jacob, his 13-year-old sister Kylie Madison Martinez, and their 39-year-old mother Jessica Rodriguez inside the apartment with fatal gunshot wounds. The older sister, who had been the apparent original target, was not at the home and was unharmed.

Police identified and arrested a 15-year-old male believed to be the assailant about 40 minutes after the shooting on Andrews Highway; he was taken to the Ector County Youth Center and charged with capital murder of multiple persons. Family remembered Jacob as an affectionate, competitive child who loved video games and hoped to become a professional YouTuber.

Did anyone in the Odessa area know the Martinez family or have information about that evening that could help the ongoing inquiry?
