A 4-month-old infant, Jaquari Jones, died on March 15, 2022, in Lubbock, Texas, after a bullet struck him inside a home in the 3600 block of Lehigh Street.

The Lubbock Police Department opened an investigation and on March 16, 2022 arrested a 14-year-old friend of the family on a manslaughter charge. Police reported the juvenile was handling the firearm when it discharged. Investigators were working to determine how the teenager obtained the gun and whether others at the scene had any involvement, with the Metropolitan Special Crimes Unit assisting.

The death prompted local discussion about gun safety and the legal consequences of an accidental shooting. Does anyone have information about the Lehigh Street residence, who else was present that night, or how the firearm came to be in the home?
