Man found unconscious with serious injuries, LPD investigating

Officers responded to the scene at 12:29 a.m. On August 29. The call was serious enough that the department's Major Crimes Unit took over the investigation, which typically signals police believe the injuries were not accidental.

The 2800 block of Slide Road sits in a busy stretch of west Lubbock, close to shopping centers and residential neighborhoods that see a lot of foot traffic after hours. Details on the victim's identity and current condition have not been released.

Major Crimes handles the department's most serious cases, including aggravated assaults and homicides, so their involvement points to the gravity of what officers found when they arrived. Residents near that stretch of Slide Road should expect continued police presence as the investigation moves forward.

No suspect information has been made public. Anyone with information about what happened in the early hours of August 29 near that complex is encouraged to contact LPD directly.

Lubbock's Major Crimes Unit is one of the more active investigative divisions in the department, given the city's ongoing concerns about violent crime trends in recent years.
