On December 9, 2025, a shooting at an apartment complex in Odessa, Texas left three people dead: 13-year-old Kylie Madison Martinez, her 9-year-old brother Jacob Martinez, and their 39-year-old mother Jessica Rodriguez. Police described the scene as a triple homicide and said the attack appeared tied to a domestic disturbance connected to a teen breakup. Investigators took a juvenile suspect into custody; the suspect’s identity has been withheld because they are a minor and was reported to be known to the victims. Authorities described the incident as an isolated, interpersonal act rather than a random attack.

Family remembered Kylie as a vibrant, energetic girl who enjoyed making TikTok videos, listening to music—especially Justin Bieber—and spending time with her siblings. She is survived by her father Roy Casey Martinez, a stepmother, siblings and extended family; a joint funeral service was scheduled at First Baptist Church in Snyder, Texas. Does anyone from Odessa or Snyder have information that could help clarify what happened that night?
