Tim R. Lara, 49, of Lubbock, Texas, died from multiple gunshot wounds after a shooting at a South Lubbock home on April 23, 2022. Officers responded around 2:06 a.m. to a shots-fired call at a residence in the 1900 block of 74th Street and found Lara with multiple gunshot wounds; he was given first aid and taken to University Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.

Investigators say Lara and 24-year-old Fabian Canales were involved in a domestic dispute that turned physical. Witnesses reported Canales drew a 9mm pistol and shot Lara multiple times as Lara was walking toward him; Lara was unarmed and not attempting to fight. Canales fled but was later found, arrested, and admitted to the shooting, saying he lost it. Canales was charged with murder and booked into the Lubbock County Detention Center with bond set at $350,000. The Metropolitan Special Crimes Unit continued to investigate to determine any additional factors.

Did anyone in Lubbock know Tim Lara or witness the events that night and have information to share?
