60-year-old man killed in Central Lubbock, suspect flees

60-year-old man killed in Central Lubbock, suspect flees

Lubbock police are hunting for a suspect after 60-year-old Arnold Tomlunson was killed overnight on Avenue Q.

This stretch of Avenue Q, close to the Depot District and just south of Broadway, is an older part of town many long-time residents know well. It's a corridor that sees a mix of residents and late-night activity. It sits between downtown and the older neighborhoods toward the university.

A homicide with a suspect on the loose creates immediate concern for anyone living or working near downtown. For neighbors along Avenue Q and the surrounding blocks, this overnight tragedy shatters Sunday's peace. Waking up to police tape and forensics vans is unsettling. It's a stark reminder that violent crime can strike anywhere in our city.

With no suspect description released, the details surrounding Tomlunson's death remain an unsettling mystery for now.
