Cpl. Abel Marquez The Odessa Police Department responded to a domestic disturbance call Saturday night September 8th. Cpl Arlie Jones, 48, and Cpl. Scott Gardner, 30, were virtually ambushed in a backyard by the husband of a female who called 911 to report she had been beaten. Both officers were shot to death with what Texas Rangers now believe to be a shotgun. Both were shot in the head and died at the scene. Cpl. Abel Marquez was critically wounded, taken to Medical Center Hospital and later flown to University Medical Center in Lubbock. He remained on life support until he died shortly after 3 p.m. Wednesday. These officers gave their life to protect a stranger. Please remember the families of the officers and the Odessa Police Department in your prayers. Visit the Odessa P.D. here
