Today it's a quiet street. But before the sunrise, a man had lost his life. 26 year old Ryan Moon was stabbed several times in the chest in the 700 block of Bunch Avenue. Witnesses report seeing a grey sedan leaving the scene. It's those tips that lead police outside of Odessa. Cpl. Sherrie Carruth of Odessa Police says, "We contacted Midland police. They went out and checked on an address given, and the suspects were there." three people were arrested, including 29 year old Christopher Lyson. He has been charged with first degree felony murder. "These other two have been interviewed; some things investigators are following up on." Police say it was not a domestic dispute, and wouldn't say if the stabbing was gang-related. We went door to door to talk to neighbors about the case but no one answered. Authorities say they've got the right guy. But their investigation continues.

01-05-09 Homicides up in Ector County, Odessa
Homicides up in Ector County, OdessaComments 0 Recommend 0
January 5, 2009 - 11:01 AM
BY DOUG CARMAN
The year brought a rise in homicides throughout Ector County.
The Ector County Sheriff's Office and the Odessa Police Department reported a total of 13 homicides -including two murder-suicides - through Dec. 13. This was more than the eight homicides reported in all of 2007 and the four reported in 2006.
Odessa Police Cpl. Sherrie Carruth did not comment on how the number of homicides in the city, which had nine of the 13 homicides in the county, would compare to the rate seen during the oil bust of the 1980s, when Odessa was dubbed the murder capital of America.
"We definitely had more murders," she said. "It's hard to compare it to the '80s since none of us have gone through it."
The following are summaries of the 13 homicides reported by the Odessa Police Department and the Ector County Sheriff's Office:
>> Rene Roman, 20, was stabbed to death Jan. 6 at the Graham Central Station nightclub parking lot, 4240 Preston Smith Road. Roman was of Andrews.
Arnaldo "Nano" Ramirez, 20, of 4700 Shady Lane Drive in Midland, was arrested three days later in connection to the stabbing. He remains in the Ector County Detention Center on a $250,000 bond.
>> Susan Kay "Nanny" Clark, 59, was found dead Feb. 1 at her West Odessa home at 3547 N. Ferguson Ave., after being strangled.
Jan David Clark, her husband, was arrested the same day and remains in the Ector County Detention Center on a $300,000 bond in connection to her death. The accused told an Odessa American reporter he killed his wife because a demon was in her body.
>> Juan Cardenas Soria, 50, and Maria Navarette Porras, 43, were both found dead at a home Feb. 17 at 2110 N. Hancock Ave., each with a single gunshot wound. Porras was a nurse's aide.
Police determined it to be a murder-suicide. Preliminary lab results suggested Soria was the shooter.
>> Cornelius J. Washington, 24, collapsed at the entrance to the Rose Hill Cemetery and died after he was shot with a shotgun Feb. 19, following an argument at Billy's Zodiac Club, 400 S. Dixie Blvd.
Billy Gene Harris Jr., 21, was subsequently arrested and charged with Washington's death. He's being held without bond at the Ector County Detention Center.
>> Ryan Adam Moon, 26, died at the Odessa Regional Medical Center after he was stabbed May 30 in the 700 block of Bunche Avenue.
Christopher David Lyson, 29, was arrested June 5 in Midland, transferred to Ector County Detention Center and charged with Moon's death. He's being held without bond.
>> Robert Clayton Thornhill, 25, was reported missing May 21 before his body was found northwest of Goldsmith June 17. Police said four suspects said they slit his throat and shot him with a crossbow.
Derek Elms, 20, Willie Carl Hurst, 18, Heather Mitchell, 19, and Kathleen Newbury, 20, were all arrested and charged with Thornhill's death in June. They pleaded not guilty in September and are all at the Ector County Detention Center without bond, awaiting trial. The final autopsy results were being withheld by the Odessa Police Department.
>> Jarrett Wesley Weaver, 23, and Kelsi Miller Weaver, 22, were both found dead with gunshot wounds Oct. 7 at the Spanish Oaks East Apartments, 4630 Oakwood Drive No. 206. Kelsi Weaver worked at Ector County Abstract Co., was a part-time waitress at Harrigan's and was also a student at Odessa College. Jarrett Weaver was a welder and worked at a gym.
Police immediately suspected the deaths were part of a murder-suicide. After further investigation, they determined Jarrett shot Kelsi before turning the gun on himself.
>> Rey Valdez, 20, died at Medical Center Hospital Oct. 9 after he was fatally shot during a dispute near his home at 7306 Hughes Lane north of Odessa early that morning. Valdez worked for Eagle Compressions.
Seven suspects either turned themselves in or were apprehended in connection to Valdez's death by the end of October. Kevin Rance Jackson, 35, was arrested in Midland while Billy Wayne Haynes, 32, Hannah Psalm Fierros, 26, Summer Wilkins, 27, George Buford Scott, 36, Greta Lee Caldwell, 29, and David Wayne Callaway, 47, were arrested in Odessa. All were charged with engaging in organized criminal activity in Valdez's slaying. All of them are at the Ector County Detention Center on bonds ranging from $250,000 to $500,000, except for Callaway and Fierros, who are being held without bond. Sheriff's investigators are still trying to locate the gun used in Valdez's slaying.
>> Ray Sauceda Jr., 25, was found slumped in his car, killed by multiple gunshot wounds in his chest at approximately 10:30 p.m. Oct. 15 at the High Plains Apartments parking lot, 3727 Andrews Highway. Sauceda, of Odessa, was an automotive mechanic.
Police investigators still have no suspects in the shooting.
>> Thomas Fisher Goodnight, 53, was found lying on the floor of his home by his employer after he was slain by a shotgun wound in his neck and upper chest on Nov. 12 at 5447 E. Hammett Drive south of Odessa, which also doubled as a motorcycle club hangout.
Sheriff's investigators still have no suspects in the shooting.
>> Rodolfo Alvarez Sanchez Jr., 27, died at Medical Center Hospital Dec. 12, after he called 9-1-1 and reported that someone shot him with a shotgun near the intersection of Boles Drive and Kellogg Avenue in West Odessa. Sanchez, of Odessa, was an oilfield supervisor.
Sheriff's investigators still have no suspects in the shooting.
Some homicides that also grabbed the Permian Basin's attention included:
>> The May 7 stabbing deaths of Richard and Alicia Cherry at a bar in Pecos.
>> The July 22 stabbing of Jorge Silva, 47, in Crane, which, along with an assault on a woman and an attack on a police officer, led to a 20-hour manhunt in three counties.
>> The July 23 stabbing of Victor Vidal, 23, and the Sept. 11 shooting of Sylvia Zapata, 45, in Midland, which were both linked to an ongoing rivalry between two families.

An investigation into the stabbing death of an Odessa man continued Thursday as family and friends grieved the loss of 26-year-old Ryan Adam Moon.
"I'm still in shock," said Stephanie Mariscal, Ryan Adam Moon's ex-girlfriend. "I'm still upset about this."
Mariscal said she heard about the loss of her former boyfriend Thursday morning when Moon's mother called her.
"She told me, and I couldn't believe it," she said. "I mean, we were first together in high school and went out for 10 years altogether."
Mariscal said Moon's mother was very upset and said "it's not a good time for her right now."
Detective Sgt. Paul Shepherd said in a news release that Moon was stabbed in the chest in the 700 block of Bunche Avenue. Moon was taken to Odessa Regional Medical Center by a private vehicle where he later died.
Mariscal said she was surprised by the violent nature of Moon's death.
"He wasn't the type of person to put himself in this situation," she said. "I don't know who'd want to do this to him."
Shepherd said Christopher David Lyson, 29, was arrested in Midland with help from the Midland Police Department and charged with murder. Lyson remained Thursday in the Midland County Detention Center. Bond had not been set Thursday.
Odessa police Cpl. Sherrie Carruth said two two suspects were interviewed in Midland, but no other arrests had been made in the case.
Bunch Avenue resident Larry Flax said the fight that woke him up isn't a normal occurrence on his street.
"They woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep, but this doesn't happen a lot," he said.
Flax said he didn't know what started the fight, but he knew one of the men involved.
"One of the guys stays here with his mom sometimes," he said, declining to give the name of the man.
Meanwhile, Mariscal said Moon, who went by his middle name, was a caring man.
"He knew when to joke and when to be serious," she said. "We went out for 10 years. He was always there for anybody who needed help."

In Loving Memory
It's been almost a year since my nephew Adam Moon was murdered. His killer is still in jail. The trial was originally scheduled for May 13 but they are waiting on DNA evidence to come back. When a new trial date is set we will make the trip to Odessa to support my sister if that's even possible. I can't imagine what she is going through and nothing anyone can say or do can make it better. Maybe his conviction will bring some type of, some type of what? Closure? I doubt it. Anyway, I wanted to make some type of memorial or tribute here. I'm not sure how or what. We'll see how it goes.

The Calm After The Storm
Sometimes the Lord calms the storm. Sometimes he lets the storm rage and calms his child.
What a week last week was. It rained every day. Yesterday the storm was so bad it blew the roof off a building at the Dallas Cowboys training center. Today is cloudy and dreary but at least it isn't raining.
I hope the storm is calming for my sister as well. Her x-boyfriend (she left him about 3 months ago) was killed in a car crash. We went to his funeral Thursday. She is so sad and feels so guilty for leaving him. She had started going to church with us in the last month or so. I don't think she had been since she was a child. I am thankful for that. I guess God was preparing her for what was to come. I left my Bible with her the night it happened. I begged her to read it. She didn't.
We had a long discussion during the drive down to San Antonio for the funeral. She said she does enjoy the church but isn't sure what she believes. She feels like it's a free counseling session. I told her it was far from free. Jesus paid the price for her on the cross. I'm not sure I helped her at all. She didn't make it to church this morning. I will continue to pray for her. I found a great article I may send her (copy below) about why God allows terrible things to happen. Maybe it will help.
Our loving and merciful God has a perfect plan to use suffering to accomplish His threefold purpose. First, He uses pain and suffering to draw us to Himself so that we will cling to Him. Jesus said, “In the world you shall have tribulation” (John 16:33). Trials and distress are not something unusual in life; they are part of what it means to be human in a fallen world. In Christ we have an anchor that holds fast in all the storms of life, but if we never sail into those storms, how would we know that? It is in times of despair and sorrow that we reach out to Him, and, if we are His children, we always find Him there waiting to comfort and uphold us through it all. In this way, He proves His faithfulness to us and ensures that we will stay close to Him. An added benefit is that as we experience God’s comfort through trials, we are then able to comfort others in the same way (2 Corinthians 1:4).Second, He proves to us that our faith is real through the suffering and pain that are inevitable in this life. How we respond to suffering is determined by the genuineness of our faith. Those with faith truly from God, “the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2), will not be crushed by suffering, but will come through the trial with their faith intact, having been “proven through fire” so that it “might be found to praise and honor and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 1:7). Those are the ones who do not shake their fists at God or question His goodness, but instead “count it all joy” (James 1:2), knowing that trials prove that they are truly the children of God. “Blessed is the man who endures temptation, because having been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him” (James 1:12).Finally, God uses suffering to take our eyes off this world and put them on the next. The Bible continually exhorts us to not get caught up in the things of this world, but to look forward to the world to come. This world and all that is in it will pass away, but the kingdom of God is eternal. Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36), and those who would follow Him must not see the things of this life, both good and bad, as the end of the story. Even the sufferings we endure and which seem so terrible “are not worthy to be compared with the coming glory to be revealed in us” (Romans 8:18).Could God prevent all suffering? Of course. But He assures us that “all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). So even suffering is part of the “all things” that God is using to accomplish His good purposes. His plan is perfect, His character is flawless, and those who trust Him will not be disappointed.
