Javier Hernandez, a 31-year-old Hispanic man from Amarillo, Texas, died of a gunshot wound after being brought to a local hospital on July 17, 2022. Witnesses said he had been involved in a fight with several men in the 3500 block of SE 11th Avenue, and that during the altercation one of the men pulled a gun and shot him.
Amarillo Police Homicide Detectives later identified 21-year-old Oscar Adame as a suspect and obtained a murder warrant. A SWAT team located and arrested Adame at a home in the 9900 block of Plaudit Trail in Potter County; he was booked into the Potter County Detention Center with bond set at $250,000. Hernandez was remembered by family and the community for his big heart and charismatic personality; his funeral was held at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church and he was buried in Llano Cemetery.
