Wade Collier Parramore, 36, of Lubbock died on August 27, 2020, after being shot at the Loop 88 RV Park in the 9900 block of County Road 6900 just outside Lubbock’s western city limits. Parramore, born November 21, 1983, in Winters, Texas, had worked erecting wind turbines and later in dirt construction with his father; at the time of the shooting he was working with his father in Lubbock.

An arrest warrant and subsequent indictment say Parramore was not the intended target. He had given a ride to Anthony Garza, who confronted Curtis Jerome Smith during a dispute at the RV park. Garza allegedly approached Smith with a gun; during the altercation Smith shot Parramore unintentionally. Smith, 26, was arrested, held at the Lubbock County Detention Center with bail set at $300,000, and was indicted by a Lubbock County grand jury for murder. Smith initially denied involvement and later admitted the shooting was unintentional; his girlfriend told investigators Smith had aimed his firearm at Garza.

Parramore is survived by his parents John and Christine Parramore, his children Baylee Nicole and Hudson Ray Parramore, his sister Briana Parramore Cooper, and other family members. Does anyone who knew Wade or was at the Loop 88 RV Park that day have information to share?
