A man in Lubbock was arrested over the weekend following a convenience store fight that led to the shooting death of a 37-year-old.

Fatal Shooting in Central Lubbock

On Friday, April 17, the Lubbock Police Department (LPD) responded to a call of shots fired at a convenience store on the 5900 block of Avenue P at 10:36 p.m.

When officers arrived on the scene, they located 37-year-old Jonathan Trevino with a gunshot wound. He also suffered several serious injuries, requiring an EMS transport to University Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead.

An investigation was immediately opened where it was discovered that Trevino and another man, 41-year-old Tommy Rios, were inside the convenience store, later exiting as they began to engage in a verbal altercation.

The argument escalated to such a point that Rios produced a firearm and shot Trevino before fleeing the area.

Together with the help of the Lubbock Texas Anti-Gang Center, surveillance footage of the area was obtained, and Rios was located and arrested at 2 o'clock in the afternoon the next day on April 18.

Tommy Rios was sent to the Lubbock County Detention Center on a $300,000 bond. He was booked on one count of murder.
