Jasmine Estrella Adame was a 16-year-old Hispanic girl from El Paso described by her family as fun, loving, and free-spirited. A talented athlete who played soccer and volleyball and did gymnastics, she was the oldest daughter in her family and remembered for her bright smile and sense of humor.

On the evening of February 16, 2023, police responding to a shooting found Jasmine’s body in a dark drainage alley between Coyote Trail and Apache Point, near the 14300 block of Coyote Trail. She had been killed by a single gunshot wound to the back of her head; the discovery was made around 9:30 p.m.

Investigators say Jasmine had arranged a meeting over Instagram to obtain marijuana through an intermediary, intending to steal the drugs during the transaction. The seller was identified as 23-year-old Cesar Alejandro Roa. Detectives from the Narcotics Unit and the Homicide Division developed the case using witness statements, social media communications, and an undercover purchase from Roa. Roa was arrested on March 3, 2023, and charged with murder and related drug offenses.

Did anyone in the area see Jasmine that night or have information about the meeting arranged on social media?
