On the evening of September 23, 2021, 18-year-old Cory Daniel Bustamante of Wichita Falls, Texas, was shot while driving on Chris Street in Altus, Oklahoma. After the shooting the car continued uncontrolled, struck a parked vehicle in a driveway, hit another vehicle, and came to rest near Chris and Blain Street. Emergency responders took Bustamante to Jackson County Memorial Hospital, where he died of his injuries.
Witnesses told police they saw a Black male running south from the scene immediately after the gunshot. The Altus Police Department opened a homicide investigation and later arrested 18-year-old Jason Amador of Texas on September 28, 2021, charging him with First Degree Murder and Robbery. Investigators allege Amador was a passenger who fled the vehicle; they say a third person present is believed to have fired the fatal shot and remains sought.
Anyone with information about what happened that night or the identity of the third person is asked to contact the Altus Police Department.
