READ MORE: Defendant in Dollar Saver murder once again appealing for lower bond
Adan Chavez, 26, of Wichita Falls, was indicted by a Wichita County grand jury in January 2023 for murder. Despite his bond being lowered, he's been in the Wichita County Jail since his initial arrest in late 2022.
Chavez's pending trial has seen multiple delays, from a writ of habeas corpus that went through the appellate process to multiple defense motions being filed.
After nearly two and a half years, the trial of Chavez got underway on Monday, April 28, 2025, in the 78th District Court, with Judge Meredith Kennedy presiding.
According to courthouse officials, the prosecution still has witnesses to call, but due to a scheduling conflict, testimony will be on hold until Monday, May 12, 2025, when proceedings are set to resume.
The charge against Chavez stems from October 2022, when police found a man in his early 20s dead in the parking lot of a convenience store with multiple gunshot wounds.
According to the affidavit, on Saturday, October 1, 2022, at 4:51 p.m., Wichita Falls Police were dispatched to a convenience store at 711 Central Freeway for a gunshot victim. The officers located the victim, Jorge Gonzalez, dead from multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and head.
Eyewitnesses at the scene provided information about what had happened. Information gathered during the investigation indicated Gonzalez was in a physical disturbance with Adan Chavez around 8 a.m.

The report said the two men were in a fight on North Eighth Street, where several people were involved. Several witnesses said they heard Chavez say he was going to get a gun and come back.
The witnesses said Chavez got out of the truck and retrieved a firearm from a cooler in the pickup's bed. Witnesses said Gonzalez saw Chavez retrieve the gun and told him to leave the gun alone and fight him.
The witnesses said Chavez shot Gonzalez multiple times before getting back in the truck and forcing the driver to take him a short distance away, where he fled on foot.Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
