DDN: Police stated late Thursday that three teens have been arrested in connection with a shooting that killed someone on January 4 at an apartment in central Lubbock.
The shooting happened after what seemed to be a drug deal turned into a robbery.
Lubbock police say that 17-year-old Julian Hernandez died after being shot several times during the fight that started at 4:38 p.m. on Saturday, January 4, at an apartment complex in the 1100 block of 58th Street.
Investigators think Hernandez was in the process of getting drugs when someone broke into his car and stole his money. From what we know so far, Hernandez was shot while he was trying to get away from the car.
He was seriously hurt and taken by ambulance to University Medical Center, but he was declared dead later that same night.
Three people have been arrested after a fatal shooting.
Police said just after 8 p.m. Thursday that 17-year-old Ethan Amaya and two other unnamed teens had been taken in connection with Hernandez’s death.
The first child was caught and arrested in Houston around 9 p.m. on Monday. Investigators from Lubbock’s Texas Anti-Gang unit, Houston’s TAG, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and Houston PD’s crime reduction unit all worked together to catch the minor.
Our young person was brought back to Lubbock on Wednesday and is now at the Lubbock County Juvenile Justice Center.
According to the police, Amaya was in Huntsville after the murder. Investigators from Lubbock’s TAG, Huntsville PD’s SWAT, and the Walker County Sheriff’s Office found Amaya at a house in Huntsville on Wednesday. The address is 10 White Circle.
After they got there, Amaya reportedly locked himself inside the house, which led to a standoff that went on all night. Huntsville PD SWAT was taken off duty and Conroe PD SWAT arrived to help.
Gas was used inside the house by Conroe SWAT. Soon after, Amaya was found in the attic of the house. At 6:22 p.m., she was arrested.
He is being held at the Walker County Jail right now and will be sent back to Lubbock. A warrant for his arrest says that he is charged with murder in the first degree. The bond for him is $300,
