On the afternoon of May 18, 2024, officers in Odessa, Texas, responded to a medical call at a home in the 3100 block of North Dixie Boulevard and found 42-year-old Adam Beltran deceased in the passenger seat of a vehicle parked in the yard. He had suffered a gunshot wound to the left side of his face. First responders encountered 37-year-old Jacob Daily at the scene; Daily initially told officers Beltran had committed suicide.

Investigators with the Odessa Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division later reclassified the death as a homicide after collecting evidence and conducting interviews. Detectives say Daily gave inconsistent statements during multiple interviews and ultimately confessed to fatally shooting Beltran. Daily was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and felon in possession of a firearm, and the case was prosecuted in the 70th Ector County District Court.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who saw Beltran and Daily together that afternoon or who can help clarify what happened leading up to the shooting?
