Chad Wayne Read, 54, of Lubbock, Texas, was shot and killed on November 5, 2021 during a heated argument over child custody at the residence and office of Kyle Carruth. Chad was the owner of Squeegee Squad West Texas and Squeegee Squad of Dallas, husband to Jennifer Wilson Read, and father to Maci, Brady, Colton and another child named in legal filings.

Reports say Carruth emerged from his home with a rifle and fired shots that killed Chad; Carruth has said he acted in self-defense. The Texas Attorney General’s Office investigated and a grand jury declined to indict Carruth in March 2022. Chad’s widow released video of the incident and the family subsequently filed wrongful death lawsuits against Carruth and his businesses.

Are there details about the day or the custody dispute that could help clarify what happened?
