15yo Texas boy decides to shoot his ex for breaking up with him. Then he abandons the plan for a more ‘tragic and cowardly act of violence’

Texas police arrested a 15-year-old boy on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, in connection with a triple homicide in North Odessa after police say he planned to shoot his former girlfriend near her school and instead killed her mother and two siblings at their home.

According to Odessa police, shortly before 6 p.m. Tuesday, officers responded to an Odessa apartment complex and discovered three victims inside a residence. Police said the teen had originally intended to ambush his 15-year-old ex-girlfriend after school, but abandoned that plan and went to her family’s home instead.
