James Faith was shot multiple times and killed while walking his dog with his wife near their Oak Cliff home in Dallas just after 7:30 a.m. on Oct. 9, 2020.

Darrin Lopez, an ex-boyfriend of 48-year-old Jennifer Faith, faces a murder charge in the shooting death of 49-year-old James Faith. Lopez and Jennifer Faith dated in high school and college, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

According to court documents, Lopez drove from Tennessee to Dallas to murder Faith Jr. The Dallas County court document says Lopez had a "five-year plan of how" he and Jennifer Faith "would be together."
