Suspect sought in Lubbock woman's death
Lubbock homicide investigations are seeking the public's help in finding a 39-year-old man wanted in connection with the death of an 18-year-old woman whose body was found Monday east of Lubbock.
A warrant was issued Tuesday for Christopher Carter, charging him with murder for the death of Lakaria Moore.
Police officials said Moore was last seen with Carter, who is described as dangerous and should not be approached.
The case began Sunday as a missing persons case for Moore. However the case quickly turned into a homicide when investigators with the Lubbock Police Department’s Major Crimes unit obtained information on the location of Carter’s vehicle, which was found near North County Road 3000 and East County Road 6650.
Investigators also found at the scene the body of a woman, who was identified Tuesday as Moore.
Meanwhile, LPD Officers and investigators also responded to a residence in the 2400 block of East 5th Street, which they believed to be related to the investigation.
A search warrant was later executed at the residence.
Moore's family has set up a Go Fund Me account seeking to raise $10,000 to pay for her funeral.
Anyone with information about this investigation or the location of Christopher Carter can call Crime Line at 806-741-1000.
