ODESSA, Texas — Two people have been arrested in connection to the murder of a pregnant woman in Midland County Monday.
According to the Midland County Sheriff's Office, at approximately 10:35 a.m., deputies responded to the Quick Track located at 13920 W Hwy 80 in reference to a shots fired call.
When they got to the scene, deputies found a gunshot victim, later identified as 39-year-old Tameeka Yshon Jackson. Jackson was taken to Medical Center Hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries.
According to the arrest affidavit from the Midland County Sheriff Office, the store manager of the Quick Track Convenience Store was the main witness in the homicide incident.
The manager and Jackson were talking with each other when 24-year-old Israel Yanez II came into the store wearing a camouflage hoodie, black mask and gray colored pants.
Yanez pointed his firearm at Jackson and shot her. Jackson was shot in the leg, but it is unclear how many times she was shot. Yanez immediately fled on foot.
The video surveillance video showed Yanez walk towards the counter where the manager and Jackson were in the outfit that was described by the manager. The food stand blocks the shots from the suspect, but it shows Jackson fall to the ground and Yanez flee the scene.
Deputies and investigators began to search the area and were unsuccessful at first. Meanwhile, Jackson was transported to Medical Center Hospital where she would later succumb to her injuries.
According to Yanez's arrest affidavit, it was revealed that Yanez and Jackson had previously been fighting over Jackson being pregnant. There were multiple phone messages, and text messages discussing the pregnancy.
On the morning of the murder, the two got into a dispute over a Facebook post made by Jackson, which lead to Yanez asking where Jackson was located. She went on to tell him she was located at the "80", which ended up being the location for the shooting.
Yanez's employer said that he had planned to take multiple days off starting the day of the incident. They were also able to confirm that Yanez did wear a camouflage hoody while in the field.
Odessa police conducted a traffic stop later in the area of 2455 Kermit Highway. The driver of the vehicle in question was identified as Yanez during the stop and he was immediately arrested.
Yanez has officially been charged with first degree murder and his bond is set at $1 million.
On Tuesday a second person was arrested and charged with murder as well.
Mariah Gonzalez Bordayo was identified as the current live in girlfriend of Yanez, according to an arrest affidavit.
Bordayo talked about how she knew about the murder before it occurred and helped Yanez plan out the murder. She was with Yanez with he got the firearm and ammunition, and Yanez said he was going to killed someone, and that Bordayo was his "Ride or Die".
She was also reportedly ready with a change of clothes for Yanez and said she would help provide a reliable alibi.
Bordayo is currently in the Midland County Detention Center and has a bond of $1 million as well.
