Jessica Rodriguez, 39, and Her Children—Three Lights Extinguished in Odessa

The heart of the North Odessa, Texas, community is utterly broken today as it grapples with the devastating loss of a mother and her two young children. Jessica Rodriguez, 39, and her 9-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter were all tragically killed on Tuesday, December 9, 2025. The abrupt, shocking removal of this family of three has left an indelible mark of sorrow and disbelief across the city.

The Profound Void of a Family Stolen

Jessica Rodriguez was a devoted mother whose life was centered around her children. To lose a mother and two young lives—a son just starting his journey and a daughter entering her teenage years—in a single, tragic event is a grief that defies language. The pain is not just felt by their immediate loved ones, but by the schools, the neighborhoods, and the friends who shared simple, everyday moments with them. The unexpected absence of Jessica, her 9-year-old son, and her 13-year-old daughter has created a vacuum of sorrow that the North Odessa community will struggle to fill.
