New Details Emerge In Two Ongoing Lubbock Police Investigations

Barron was struck and killed on February 10, 2017, while walking near Marsha Sharp Freeway and Avenue Q. The driver has never been identified. For nearly eight years, LPD has chased down leads without resolution, and the department is now hoping a larger payout shakes something loose.

In a separate, unrelated case, a Lubbock man recently opened fire on his neighbors before turning the gun on himself. LPD is still investigating that incident, though details on the shooter's identity, the location, and the circumstances remain limited.

For the families and neighbors connected to either case, the lack of answers carries real weight. The Barron family has waited almost a decade for someone to come forward about what happened at one of the city's busiest intersections. A higher reward is sometimes the thing that finally gets a witness to pick up the phone.

A fatal hit-and-run near one of Lubbock's most traveled corridors going unsolved for nearly ten years is a number that's hard to sit with.
