Mystery murder of Jamie Faith who was gunned down while walking dog solved after cops unravel elaborate ‘coverup’

A TEXAS mother has pleaded guilty to orchestrating the murder of her husband, who was shot seven times outside of their family home in 2020.

Jennifer Faith, 49, convinced her boyfriend Darrin Lopez to kill her husband Jamie Faith and then plotted to cover it up, police say.

Jamie was leaving the house with Jennifer for a morning walk with their dog when a masked individual shot him seven times — three times in the head, three times to the chest, and one shot to the groin — before driving away in a black truck with a "T" decal, according to captured video footage.

Jennifer claimed that she had also been attacked and that the gunman duct-taped her. Jamie was pronounced dead at the scene.

In the wake of the murder, recently-widowed Jennifer went on local TV in their Dallas area and begged the killer to come forward.

"I just hope that at some point, maybe, this person can recognize the gravity of what they've done and feel some sort of guilt enough to come forward."

Jennifer and Jamie, an American Airlines manager, met on a blind date 15 years prior to the tragedy. The couple had been married since 2012, and Jamie had legally adopted Jennifer's daughter from her first marriage.

The couple moved to Dallas from Arizona in 2017, years before Jennifer reconnected with her high school sweetheart Lopez, an Army veteran.

Cops uncovered the reality of the case after reviewing Jennifer's phone and discovering she had been in an emotional affair with Lopez, who had suffered a traumatic brain injury while serving in the Army that left him disabled.

Authorities tracked Lopez's financial records and conducted aerial surveillance of his Tennessee home, where they discovered he drove a black Nissan truck with a "T" decal.

Law enforcement arrested Lopez in January 2021 and conducted searches in his vehicle and his home, where they discovered the alleged murder weapon, credit cards in Jennifer Faith's name, and a mask matching the description of the face mask that Jennifer said that the shooter had worn.

Lopez was charged with Jamie's murder, but Jennifer suspiciously remained in contact with him while he was in custody.

Both before and after the murder, Jennifer sent Lopez money and gifts, even providing him with two credit cards which she paid off using the proceeds of a GoFundMe fundraiser called Support Jennifer Faith launched by the community in the wake of Jamie's death.

Lopez eventually admitted to authorities that Jennifer asked him to help her kill her husband.
