Police on Saturday arrested a 41-year-old man charged with murder in connection with a shooting the evening before that left a 37-year-old man dead near a Lubbock convenience store.<\/p>\n
Officers responded to a report of shots fired about 10:36 p.m. Friday in the 5900 block of Avenue P, according to a statement from Lubbock police.<\/p>\n
Upon arrival, officers located 37-year-old Jonathan Trevino with a gunshot wound. Trevino suffered serious injuries and was taken by EMS to University Medical Center, where he later died.<\/p>\n
A Lubbock Metropolitan Special Crimes Unit callout was initiated.<\/p>\n
Through the initial course of the investigation, it appears, Trevino and Tommy Rios, 41, were inside a convenience store in the 5900 block of Avenue P.<\/p>\n
At some point, Rios exited the convenience store and when Trevino exited, a verbal altercation ensued.<\/p>\n
Police say Rios produced a firearm and shot Trevino before fleeing the scene.<\/p>\n
Investigators with the Lubbock Texas Anti-Gang Center conducted surveillance for hours in the 1600 block of 59th Street, and Rios was taken into custody without incident at 2:07 p.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n
LPD SWAT responded to serve the warrant on Rios.<\/p>\n
Rios was taken to the Lubbock County Detention Center and booked on one count of murder. He is being held on a $300,000 bond.<\/p>\n
Other information about the circumstances leading to the shooting and how the two men knew each other was not immediately clear as the investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"April 18, 2026, 6:30 p.m. CT Police on Saturday arrested a 41-year-old man charged with murder in connection…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":108121,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[203,168,170,169,3007,3008,3018,532,24134,573,660,3530,217,3642,534,36],"class_list":{"0":"post-256310","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-lubbock","8":"tag-accessmetered","9":"tag-lubbock","10":"tag-lubbock-headlines","11":"tag-lubbock-news","12":"tag-sstsnewscrime","13":"tag-sstsncrime","14":"tag-tagcrime-justice","15":"tag-tagdeath-tragedy","16":"tag-tagemergency-medical-services","17":"tag-taglaw-enforcement","18":"tag-taglocal-news","19":"tag-taglubbock","20":"tag-tagoverall-negative","21":"tag-tagpolice","22":"tag-tagviolence-abuse","23":"tag-typestory"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256310","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256310"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256310\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
