Raymond Hernandez, a 40-year-old Hispanic man from Lubbock, Texas, was found unresponsive with a gunshot wound on the 500 block of 50th Street on September 26, 2020. He was taken to University Medical Center and later pronounced dead. The shooting followed an argument between Raymond and his brother, James Leroy Hernandez, also 40, and witnesses heard multiple gunshots. A juvenile witness said a man in a red shirt was seen walking before a vehicle pulled up and a gunshot was heard; other witnesses gave conflicting accounts about whether the shooting happened inside or outside the vehicle. Investigators reported James admitted to a family member that he had shot Raymond.

James Leroy Hernandez turned himself in to the Lubbock County Detention Center on September 27, 2020, and was arrested and charged with murder. An autopsy noted no signs of a close-range or contact wound. James accepted a plea deal and was sentenced to 12 years in prison, with eligibility to apply for parole after serving half the sentence.

Did anyone in Lubbock see Raymond or the vehicle on 50th Street that evening or have additional information about what happened before the shooting?
