Lubbock police: 19-year-old killed in shooting stemming from possible robbery

An 18 year-old is in custody following an aggravated robbery in Central Lubbock late Wednesday night, which police say led to the shooting death of a 19 year-old.

Damion Moore, 18, was arrested at 3:10 p.m. on Thursday by the Metropolitan Special Crimes Unit and the Texas Anti-Gang Center in the 4600 block of North Frankford Avenue after a warrant for Aggravated Robbery was issued Thursday morning in connection with the Wednesday evening shooting, according to a statement from LPD>

Lubbock police were called to the 2300 block of Glenna Goodacre Boulevard at 10:01 p.m. on Wednesday for reports of a disturbance.

Through the initial course of the investigation, police believe Moore, along with 19 year-old Jaden Brown, arrived at the location to purchase a gaming console from 20 year-old Jose Seguin. During the transaction, police say both Moore and Brown attempted to rob Seguin of the console, at which point Seguin produced a weapon and began firing as the two fled the scene, at which point Brown was struck.

Lubbock police were again called to the 2300 block of Glenna Goodacre Boulevard at 2:51 a.m. on Thursday in response to a call reporting shots fired. Upon arrival a second time, that’s when officers located 19 year-old Jaden Brown, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Other factors contributing to the shooting were not immediately clear as the investigation is ongoing.
