New details on an Odessa man who plead guilty to murder.
Ryan Holcombe will spend a little more than 38 years behind bars after a judge sentenced him.
As part of plea deal, Holcombe agreed to spend 30 years behind bars but no more than forty.
Holcombe killed 21-year-old Hernan Vasquez in a drug deal that went bad in February of 2009.
Vasquez was discovered dead in an alley in Odessa with a gunshot wound to his head.
Holcombe was caught in Oklahoma nearly a month after the murder.
State Troopers there had arrested him for a different charge before finding out he was wanted for murder in Texas.
