    Truck used by suspect in deputy slaying reported stolen in Ector County

    The truck Gary David Green drove to McCamey the night law enforcement officials say he shot and killed an Upton County sheriff’s deputy had been reported stolen out of Ector County earlier that afternoon.

    The Ector County Sheriff’s Department said it was investigating the auto theft, reported at 3:13 p.m. Oct. 2 in the 5500 block of Meteor Crater Road in West Odessa. The Texas Rangers are heading the shooting investigation, but investigators deemed they did not need to take over the auto theft investigation, said Sgt. Santos Carrasco, a spokesman for the agency through the Texas Department of Public Safety.

    The revelation that Green was driving a reportedly stolen vehicle offered new context in what remains a mostly incomplete picture of the shooting.

    The official account so far left many questions: Deputies Billy “Bubba” Kennedy and Thomas Stiles responded to a Stripes Convenience Store at about 11:15 p.m. Oct. 2. There, they encounted Green, a 50 year-old convicted felon who had been sentenced to prison in 2007 for an aggravated assault. Gunfire ensued. Carrasco said Monday this happened outside. Kennedy was injured by gunfire and died at the scene. Green was critically injured.

    Carrasco said there would be no more information released from the preliminary investigation on Monday. The truck Green was driving is registered to Odessan Mike Eaves, who runs Cherokee Truck Services from his home on Cessna Avenue. Eaves did not respond to inquiries from the Odessa American.

    McCamey, a town of 1,844 people, reeled at the loss of Kennedy, a 37-year-old deputy who had served as a deputy for 14 total years and who had graduated from high school in Iraan. He was married and the father of two sons.

    “Bubba was one of us,” Upton County Sheriff Dan Brown, at a memorial last week. “We’re a small department, and we’re all really close. He was not just an officer — he was our friend, a son, a father and a brother.”

    Now Upton County prepares for Kennedy’s funeral.

    Sunday night, the U.S. Honor Flag arrived at Midland International Airport, where the Midland Police Department’s received it with a ceremony. From there, the flag headed to Rankin for Kennedy’s funeral. The service is scheduled for 11 a.m. today at the Park Building in Rankin. Burial will follow at Rankin Cemetery.

    Meanwhile, Green continued to recover at Medical Center Hospital in Odessa, where he was being held on a $1 million bond out of Upton County and a capital murder charge. Officers with the DPS, assisted in some instances by officers with the Odessa Police Department, guarded him. On Monday, Green had been reportedly upgraded from critical to fair condition — talking and conscious.

    Green goes to jail

    Gary David Green, the 50-year-old suspect charged with capital murder in connection with the shooting death of Upton County Sheriff Deputy Billy “Bubba” Kennedy Jr., was being held by the Ector County Sheriff’s office Wednesday afternoon.

    Ector County Sheriff Mark Donaldson confirmed that Green was being held at the county’s detention center Wednesday afternoon. Green had previously been at Medical Center Hospital since Oct. 2 recovering from gunshot wounds.

    Donaldson said Green was brought to the jail by Texas Rangers and it was unknown if they would hold him until his scheduled court date or if the Rangers would move him to another location.

    As of 3:35 p.m., Green had not been booked at the detention center.

    Green is charged with capital murder in connection to the shooting death of Kennedy on Oct. 2 at the Stripes Convenience Store in McCamey, 50 miles south of Odessa. A criminal complaint filed by the Texas Rangers stated Kennedy and Deputy Thomas Stiles responded to the store to investigate a complaint and found Green in a stolen vehicle reported stolen from Odessa.

    As deputy Kennedy Jr. approached the vehicle, Green suddenly opened the driver side door and began shooting a firearm at Deputy Kennedy Jr., the complaint stated. Kennedy was pronounced dead at the scene.

    Community reflects a year after deputy's death

    A year after the death of an Upton County deputy, members of the McCamey community gathered to reflect and remember Billy “Bubba” Kennedy Jr. as the sun began to set Thursday evening at Serenity Park.

    The shooting that killed Kennedy in the line of duty Oct. 2 of last year was still fresh in the memory of residents in McCamey, a community with 1,844 people, including his sister Cindy Kennedy Portman.

    “He was more than just an officer that got shot – he had a family. He was very brave, he was a hero. If he wasn’t so brave he would still be here with us,” Portman said. “I miss seeing him and talking to him. We were close. He was my best friend and I just feel lost without him. Anytime I had a problem or something funny to share with him I would call or text him. I just miss him.”

    Portman said Kennedy was loved by many members in the community and that people he had previously arrested attended his funeral last year.

    “He was just that type of person. You couldn’t stay mad at him long. They knew he was just doing his job,” Portman said. “He was just a very outgoing, friendly person that everybody knew. You couldn’t help but like him.”

    Kennedy, 38, left his wife, Jodie, and two sons, 16-year-old Lane and 11-year-old Blake, behind. He served as a licensed peace officer for 14 years in Pecos County, Brown County and Upton County.

    The shooting took place at a Stripes Convenience Store located on Highway 385 in McCamey, 50 miles south of Odessa.

    The Upton County Sheriff’s Office reported Kennedy was killed in the line of duty and died at the scene.

    Upton County Sheriff Dan Brown, who has served 27 years in the community, described Kennedy as a “really good law enforcement officer” who worked well with the people of McCamey.

    “He laid his life down for them,” Brown said in reference to the community in McCamey. “All of these guys, this is a profession that’s chosen by them. You’re not drafted into it. You have to choose to become a law enforcement officer. You have to be dedicated.”

    Brown said officers hailing as far away as California attended Kennedy’s funeral.

    “They call it a band of brothers and it’s true,” Brown said. “It was felt very deeply. The whole community mourned for him. Everybody came out and mourned. When a police officer is killed in the line of duty, it’s a tragic event, especially for law enforcement officers.”

    Several of the people gathered in Serenity Park said that even a year following the tragic shooting, the event was still deeply felt in the community.

    “It kind of snuck up on this. We were just talking about it right now saying, ‘My God, I can’t believe it’s been a year already,” Brown said. “Bubba was one of those guys that no matter what I asked him to do he’d say, ‘I got it, Sheriff. I’ll go.’ And he would. He’d go get it done. He was a good all-around officer, a good father, a good husband.”

    About a hundred people gathered at Serenity Park as the sun began to set and a crescent moon appeared.

    A video was shown on the side of a building next to the park with images of Kennedy, including one with him gathered with his wife and children in a bluebonnet field.

    Those gathered bowed their heads at the opening of the vigil, saying a prayer for Kennedy, his family and law enforcement officers.

    Witnesses reported hearing between eight and 11 shots fired the evening Kennedy died.

    Gary David Green, 50, was charged with capital murder of a peace officer, a first-degree felony, aggravated assault against a public servant, a first-degree felony, and capital murder, a first-degree felony. Green is currently being held at the Ector County Detention Center on a $2 million bond.

    Texas Ranger Phillip Breeding filed a complaint to charge Green with capital murder, and described in the complaint the events leading up to Kennedy’s fatal shooting.

    Breeding arrived in McCamey Oct. 3 and spoke with Stripes Convenience Store employee Alexis Landon who was at the store during the shooting.

    Landon told him that a man went into the store and tried to pay for food and gas with a credit card that was declined, the complaint stated.

    When the card was declined, Landon told Breeding, the man became agitated and told her to “give me some gas or someone was going to die,” according to the complaint.

    Landon told Breeding she gave the man his food for free, according to the complaint, but was unable to give him free gas and didn’t want to get in trouble. At that point, the man left the store and got into a red 2007 GMC pickup truck by the gas pumps.

    According to the complaint, Upton County Sheriff’s Deputy Thomas Stiles walked into the store a short time later and spoke with Landon, who told Stiles about the man’s behavior.

    At about 11:02 p.m. Oct. 2, Stiles and Kennedy went up to the truck, according to the complaint. Stiles told Breeding that one man was sleeping in the cab of the truck, and he knocked on the window to wake the man.

    Stiles said they identified the man as Green, and ran a check on the license plate, according to the complaint. At that time, the deputies learned the truck was reported stolen on that same date out of Odessa. Stiles told Kennedy it was stolen and was verifying the status of the truck with the vehicle identification number.

    The Ector County Sheriff’s Department said it was investigating the auto theft, reported in the 5500 block of Meteor Crater Road in West Odessa about seven hours before the shooting took place in McCamey.

    Kennedy approached the driver’s side of the truck and unsnapped his gun holster, according to the complaint. Stiles told Breeding he wasn’t sure why Kennedy had his holster unsnapped.

    According to the complaint, Green opened the driver side door and began shooting a firearm at Kennedy when the deputy approached him. Stiles reported that he and Kennedy fired their guns at Green, who continued to fire at them, the complaint stated.

    Stiles told Breeding that he then saw Kennedy on the ground, the complaint stated, and grabbed the gun Green was using to shoot when he saw Green lying on the ground next to the driver’s side door of the pickup.

    According to the complaint, Stiles reported the shooting, at which point Upton County Sheriff’s Deputy Dusty Kilgore arrived on scene and arrested Green and left him on the ground.

    Stiles said to Breeding that he tried to revive Kennedy by giving him CPR, but was unable to do so. Then, Kilgore tried CPR on Kennedy, according to the complaint, but also was unable to revive him.

    According to the complaint, an EMS team arrived on the scene and also attempted life-saving measures, but Kennedy was dead.

    According to the complaint, Breeding was able to access the video footage from the Stripes Convenience Store camera and watched the firefight between the three men. He said in the complaint that both Kennedy and Stiles were wearing peace officer identification, a key component to the capital murder charge.

    Green, who last lived in Godley, was released from prison July 15, 2011, on other charges before Kennedy’s fatal shooting.

    Green was convicted in November 2007 of aggravated assault with bodily injury and sentenced to 10 years in prison. He was convicted Dec. 2007 with possession of a controlled substance, with a six-year sentence, and possession of marijuana, a one-year sentence, which he served.

    Green’s next hearing is scheduled at 10 a.m. Nov. 6 at the Upton County Courthouse.

    Accused killer of Upton County deputy has first hearing

    Limping through the Upton County Courthouse hallways with the help of a walker, ankle shackles not helping his trek, Gary David Green was publicly seen Thursday for the first time since he was accused of shooting Deputy Billy Kennedy Jr. to death in October 2013.

    Green is charged with capital murder in connection with Kennedy’s death after a firefight broke out late at night Oct. 2, 2013, at a Stripes Convenience Store in McCamey.

    In capital cases, the death penalty can be sought unless a waiver is filed by the prosecutors. In Green’s case, no such waiver has been filed.

    With more than one year passed since the shooting, Thursday’s hearing was the first in open court, and the next has been scheduled for 1 p.m. March 5, 2015.

    The case doesn’t figure to be resolved anytime soon, either, as both 112th District Attorney Laurie English and defense attorney Robert Cowie said they will not be ready until at least the end of 2015 or the beginning of 2016.

    However, Judge Pedro Gomez warned the attorneys against letting the case linger, as he said he is busy covering five counties and will continue to seek updates on this case to make sure it doesn’t go too long.

    “I don’t want this case to hang around forever,” Gomez said. “(But) I understand this can’t be prepared overnight.”

    Cowie also filed a motion to relieve Green of the shackles during any court proceedings as he said he believes any potential jurors seeing news coverage would be prejudiced by seeing him in the shackles.

    Assistant District Attorney Michael Dobbins said the motion was so overbroad that it would mean Green would be without any restraints from the Ector County Detention Center, where he’s being held, through the hearing and all the way back to Ector County.

    Gomez said he would grant a request that Green will be in street clothes during his trial, but until that point he said he would leave the security measures up to the sheriff’s offices.

    “I’ve always told the sheriff that I don’t tell him how to sheriff and they don’t tell me how to judge,” Gomez said.

    When the case does come around to trial, Cowie said it could take eight to 12 weeks for the trial to conclude.

    Kennedy and Deputy Thomas Stiles responded to a Stripes Convenience Store late at night on Oct. 2 in reference to a man who reportedly threatened the store’s clerk.

    When the two men went up to a truck at 11:02 p.m. Oct. 2 in the convenience store parking lot, they found Green sleeping in the cab, and discovered the vehicle was stolen after running the license plate, according to a criminal complaint.

    Kennedy approached the driver’s side door and unsnapped his gun holster, according to the complaint, at which point Green opened the door and opened fire.

    According to the complaint, Stiles and Kennedy both returned fire as Green continued to shoot at them.

    Stiles then said he saw Kennedy on the ground, and grabbed the gun Green was shooting with as he saw the man lying on the ground next to the pickup truck, according to the complaint.

    Death penalty still on table

    Trial could start in April

    By Nathaniel Miller
    Odessa American

    Prosecutors said as of Tuesday they still plan to seek the death penalty against Gary David Green, the man accused of shooting to death an Upton County Sheriff’s deputy in October of 2013, and the trial date is scheduled to take place in about six months in Upton County.

    Laurie English, the 112th district attorney, said after a hearing at the Upton County Courthouse, she had not filed a motion that would waive seeking capital punishment against Green, who is charged with capital murder in connection to the shooting death of Upton County Sheriff’s deputy Billy “Bubba” Kennedy Jr.

    “As far as we know, we’re still seeking the death penalty,” English said, declining to comment on the pending case any further.

    Additionally, Judge Pedro Gomez told both prosecutors and defense attorneys the case was scheduled to go to trial starting April 4, 2016, and asked both sides to get their juror questionnaires to him as soon as possible.

    During Tuesday’s hearing, Assistant District Attorney Michael Dobbins asked to file a motion seeking a psychological and psychiatric examination on Green, to which defense attorney Will Boyles objected because he said Green was having issues sitting for long periods of time.

    Boyles also said depending on what happened during the interview, it could be “skewed” and it would not give the defense enough time to get an expert witness to testify for them on the findings.

    “The defense has had two years to prepare,” Dobbins said in response to the defense.

    Gomez approved of the evaluation and set a follow-up hearing for Nov. 17 in Fort Stockton, adding whichever doctor does the evaluation would need to know about Green’s medical condition.

    “I need you to tell this doctor about this particular motion,” Gomez told English and Dobbins.

    Green is charged with capital murder in connection with the Oct. 2, 2013, shooting death of Kennedy, in McCamey near the gas pumps of the Stripes Convenience Store.

    According to affidavits filed by Texas Ranger Phillip Breeding, Green originally arrived at the convenience store and demanded free gas after the credit card he tried to use was declined. After getting food for free, Green reportedly left the store and got into a red 2007 GMC pickup truck by the gas pumps.

    Upton County Sheriff’s Deputy Thomas Stiles and Kennedy arrived at the scene after receiving a call about Green, talked with the employee at the store, and then at around 11:02 p.m., the deputies went up to the pickup Green was in, according to the affidavit.

    Stiles ran a check on the license plate and learned the pickup was reported stolen that same day out of Odessa, according to the affidavit.

    As Kennedy approached the driver’s side door and unsnapped his gun holster, according to the complaint, Green opened the door and starting shooting at the deputy. Both Kennedy and Stiles reportedly shot back at Green.

    Stiles reported he saw Kennedy on the ground, and was able to grab the gun Green was using to shoot when he saw Green lying on the ground next to the driver’s side door of the pickup, and then tried to give Kennedy CPR when another deputy arrived on scene, according to the affidavit.

    Kennedy was reported dead at the scene.

    Robert Cowie is also representing Green as part of his defense.

    Any news from this trial? I can't find anything after 2015.

    It should be an easy death penalty case (a lowlife convicted felon kills a well know and appreciated sheriff's deputy), so the apparent absence of news seems quite strange.

    Deputy honored with highway dedication


    Community leaders remember fallen hero

    By Jessica Bruha
    OA Online

    RANKIN - A stretch of highway in Upton County will now bear the name of a fallen hero, Upton County Deputy Billy “Bubba” Frank Kennedy Jr.

    A Memorial Highway Dedication ceremony took place Thursday in the Rankin High School auditorium where a large black cloth with a thin blue stripe in the middle lay draped over a highway sign for much of the ceremony.


    It will be one of two signs reading “Deputy Billy Frank Kennedy Jr. Memorial Highway” that will mark a stretch of highway in the county. One will be located at the Upton County line and another at the end of State Highway 349 and State Highway 67 near the Rankin city limits, Upton County Sheriff Dan Brown said.


    Speaker after speaker addressed the crowd Thursday morning to talk about their friend, their co-worker, their student and their brother in arms.


    Kennedy was shot to death Oct. 2, 2013, in McCamey near the gas pumps of the Stripes Convenience Store while responding to a call about a man who demanded free gas after his credit card was declined. The man, Gary David Green, was driving a pickup that was reported stolen out of Odessa earlier that day.


    As Kennedy approached the driver’s side door and unsnapped his gun holster, Green reportedly opened the door and started shooting the deputy.


    Green is facing a capital murder charge for the shooting death. More than four years has passed and the case has still not gone to trial, said Michael Holguin, a member of the Billy Kennedy Jr. Memorial Committee who helped with the highway dedication.

    Holguin said he believes the trial is set for sometime in September in New Braunfels.


    “A hero dies twice, once with his death and twice if their name is not spoken again,” Holguin said. “Let’s not forget the names of our fallen heroes and Bubba was definitely one of them.”


    Midland County Sheriff Gary Painter spoke Thursday remembering how the community came together after Kennedy was shot. Painter said he attended the funeral and has never seen so many people rise in support of their law enforcement, and especially Bubba.


    Retired Texas Ranger Jess Malone was also a guest speaker, telling the crowd about how Bubba lived down the street from him while he was a state trooper. Malone said Kennedy heard the call that night to protect his neighbors in the community and he answered that call bravely and truthfully.


    “This is one of the greatest ways to honor the memory of Bubba, this highway sign,” Brown told the crowd.


    The sheriff described Kennedy as a man who loved his family, a good Christian and a man who loved the outdoors.


    “He always had that little grin on him,” Brown said.


    A lot of people talked about that grin as they shared memories of Kennedy, including his former coach Henry Anderson.


    “I remember that grin,” Anderson said with a grin of his own.


    As a coach, or as a teacher, you try not to play favorites, Anderson said, but Bubba was one of his favorites. He watched him grow up and remembered thinking, “you could tell this kid was gonna be somebody when he got big and we always talked about that.”


    “It’s easy for me to talk about Bubba because he’s like one of my own. It’s truly an honor to be able to speak at a prestigious event like this to honor a kid who’s like my own son,” he said.


    Everything Kennedy did, he did it with a passion; whether it was with his wife, his kids, his horses, sports or his career, he said.


    “If I had a son, I’d want him to be like Bubba. … He just had something that we all marveled,” Anderson said. “Bubba’s dream was to become a law enforcement officer and guess what? He died living his dream.”


    Anderson said the highway dedication will be a great way to keep Kennedy’s memory alive.


    “I will never forget the man,” he added.


    Holguin said throughout the process of getting the signs and the highway dedication in Kennedy’s honor, he’s been able to witness the family heal a little.


    “It’s been a healing experience for them and part of closure, you know,” he said.


    The trial is something that is out of the family’s control, Holguin said, but the sign was something they could focus on and control and it’s been a positive, healing process.


    The sign unveiled on Thursday will not be the ones being placed alongside the roadway due to some minor damage during their transport earlier that morning, but Holguin said the Texas Department of Transportation is in the process of getting them replaced.


    Holguin said the contractor may have unbanded them when they picked them up from McCamey and appears they were sliding on top of each other.


    “When I say them, I told TxDOT, ‘no, this is not acceptable,’ ” he said, adding these kinds of things happen, but they will be letting everyone know when the signs get installed.

    Man accused of killing West Texas deputy to be tried in Nueces County

    By Eleanor Dearman
    The Corpus Christi Caller-Times

    A man accused of fatally shooting a West Texas sheriff's deputy will be tried in Nueces County.

    Gary David Green, 56, who is charged with capital murder and facing the death penalty, was arrested in October 2013 after a shootout at a convenience store in McCamey, according to the Associated Press.

    McCamey is in Upton County, south of Odessa.

    Upton County deputy Billy "Bubba" Kennedy, Jr. died at the store in a shootout with the man, according to the report. In 2018, a highway was dedicated to the deputy, according to the Odessa American.

    A thousand jurors have been summoned, according to court officials. Jury selection begins Wednesday and will resume April 29 with individual questioning.

    A visiting judge from Bexar County, Tessa Herr, is presiding over the case. Green is represented by attorneys William Boyles and Robert Cowie. The office of 112th District Attorney Laurie English is prosecuting the case.

    According to an affidavit, Green's credit card was declined at the convenience store and he demanded free gas, the Odessa American previously reported. Kennedy and another deputy responded to a call and approached Green's pickup truck.

    When Kennedy went up to the vehicle's driver-side door, he unfastened his gun from the holster. Green opened the door and began firing at the deputy, according to the news report. Both officers fired back, it states.

    In Texas, capital murder is punishable by either life in prison without parole or the death penalty.
