18-year-old indicted in connection with July deadly shooting - KCBD

Lubbock police responded to reports of shots fired around midnight on July 5 at an apartment complex near North Ithaca Street. That's not far from where it crosses North University Avenue. Officers arrived to find Ybarra unresponsive in the parking lot with multiple gunshot wounds. He later died at UMC. This indictment marks a significant legal step, confirming prosecutors believe they have enough evidence to proceed with a trial.

For people living in the area and Ybarra's family, this means the legal process is formally advancing toward a trial or plea. The initial investigation phase is over. It brings a measure of progress to a case that has surely weighed heavily on the community, especially those living just north of the Loop. Such a serious charge often signals a lengthy legal battle in the justice system.

Burton remains in custody at the Lubbock County Detention Center. He's held on a combined bond amount of $275,000.
