Katie Lanell Eager, a 24-year-old woman of Caucasian ethnicity, was tragically killed on February 17, 2015, in Cedar Park, Texas. She was found dead in her apartment from gunshot wounds. Katie was a manager at Alamo Drafthouse Lakeline and was described by her colleagues as a determined, kind-hearted, and beautiful young woman.
The investigation into Katie's death revealed that her boyfriend, Adam Solis, was responsible for her murder.
Solis, who was 32 years old at the time, shot Katie multiple times during an argument at their apartment on South Lakeline Boulevard. After the shooting, Solis fled to his parents' home in San Antonio and did not contact the police until the following day. He was arrested on February 18, 2015, and later pleaded guilty to the murder.
In November 2016, Adam Solis was sentenced to 40 years in prison for the murder of Katie Eager. He was credited with 629 days already served, according to the plea agreement. The court proceedings revealed that the couple had argued over financial issues, which were exacerbated by Solis's unemployment. Solis's Facebook post after the murder, in which he expressed anger towards neighbors for not calling 911, further incriminated him.
Katie's former workplace, Alamo Drafthouse Lakeline, held a special screening of her favorite movie, "Pineapple Express," one year after her death, with proceeds benefiting the Katie Eager Scholarship Fund created by her co-workers and family members.
The case brought attention to the importance of community vigilance and the devastating impact of domestic violence. Katie's memory lives on through the scholarship fund and the love and support of her family and friends.
