LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – For eight months, Serena Ward has replayed the same devastating scene in her mind, trying to understand how someone could take her husband\u2019s life in their own home.<\/p>\n
The Lubbock Metropolitan Special Crimes Unit announced this week they have solved the 2025 central Lubbock shooting that left 33-year-old Roshaud Ward dead. For Serena, the news brought mixed emotions after months of uncertainty and fear.<\/p>\n
The couple had been married only one year and shared a six-month-old baby that Roshaud never had the chance to meet. Serena was seven months pregnant when she discovered Roshaud\u2019s body in May.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was seven months pregnant, but I was just so sick. How does one person deal with losing their husband? Not only that but I found him,\u201d Ward said.<\/p>\n
The circumstances surrounding the murder have haunted Serena as she tries to piece together what happened that day.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was no broken doors, there was no broken glass. There was no sign of a fight or struggle. No force entrance, so when I waked in and I seen him on the couch, I thought he was asleep,\u201d Ward said.<\/p>\n
The lack of obvious signs of a break-in has left Serena with troubling questions about how the killer gained access to their home.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s my question, who let you in the house? What? How? How did you get in there? How did you know here we live,\u201d Ward said.<\/p>\n
Losing her husband affected every aspect of Serena\u2019s life as she struggled to care for their children while processing her grief.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey took away my peace; this has been a long eight months. Not knowing who did this, I was scared to come out the house, I was scared to speak to anybody because I didn\u2019t know if the person I was looking at did it. They took my sanity,\u201d Ward said.<\/p>\n
Serena says her focus remains on her family and preserving her husband\u2019s memory, choosing to remember the joy and positivity he brought to their lives.<\/p>\n
