Will be listed a “white” for crime statistic reasons, of course.
“From Odessa” is all you need to know.
This happened in the extreme South West corner of Midland, south of the tracks and almost into Odessa. Very industrial and our “sketchy” part of town, as things go. In fact, it’s just off the street “Industrial”.
I’m assuming gang/drugs related. As in Banditos, not hip hop losers. Actual gang. Deal meth to oilfield.
Oh, new squeek.
He don’t Mata any more......................
Victor Mata Villarreal
aka: “the Odessa man”

Fun Times in TEXAS!
Most people don't understand how federal government racial demographics work.
'White' and 'Black' are considered a race, but Hispanic is an ethnicity. Thus someone can be White/Hispanic, or Black/Hispanic.
The U.S. Census Bureau defines a "White" person as having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa
This means an Egyptian, a Morrocan, a Syrian, and a German are all considered White in most government stats.
Midland was and is W bush home town
“I thought all of Midland/Odessa was industrial.”
Midland is the richest town, per capita, in the USA.

No mention of ICE, FWIW.
Sorry...
Should focus on the victims...
Prayers up....
Blue max is long gone. Probably 20 years.
Warfield truck stop exists, but it’s really part of the airport now.
Harley shop is towards Odessa, on whatever highway Andrews highway turns into as you go west. I don’t know it’s real name.
His mom lives in Odessa and he (was) middle aged.
I’m sure he went to Permian HS.
I turned wrenches at Jim Halls Race shop which was in veiw of the Airport earlier ‘90’s. Just open Spaces then .

Can’t imagine a nut job opening fire
Figured a dozen CCW would light ya Up !
That's exactly what he's listed as in the US Marshals Wanted poster in the article.
That whole collection is now part of the Petroleum Museum.
They take them out periodically and run them down the service road.
Thank you for posting that for those who are still unaware that race and ethnicity are two different things...
