On the evening of April 21, 2026, 22-year-old I’sis Garza was found unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds at the High Plains Apartments in Odessa, Texas. Officers arriving at roughly 7:30 p.m. performed CPR but Garza died at the scene.

Police quickly identified 22-year-old David DeWayne Horn Jr. as the suspect; witnesses reported seeing him leave the complex in a purple Dodge Charger. Officers stopped the vehicle and took Horn into custody after he reportedly admitted to shooting Garza. Horn later told investigators that an argument escalated after Garza allegedly picked up his gun and fired into the floor, and that a struggle followed; he said he fired near her to scare her and she then stopped moving. Investigators say Horn intentionally fired multiple shots, causing Garza’s death.

Horn has been charged with murder and is held on $500,000 bond at the Ector County Law Enforcement Center. If anyone has information about I’sis Garza, her last known location, or the events at High Plains Apartments, please come forward.
