Jasmine Rodriguez, a 17-year-old Hispanic female from Littlefield, Texas, died of a gunshot wound to the head on July 31, 2020. The shooting occurred after a series of domestic events at a residence on West Third Street. She was taken to University Medical Center in Lubbock and succumbed to her injuries; the Littlefield Police Department opened an investigation.

An 18-year-old male, Joseph Moron, was identified as a suspect and taken into custody on felony charges of murder and tampering with physical evidence. Moron gave differing accounts — first saying the shooting was unintentional and he meant to scare Jasmine by holding a gun to her head, later saying Jasmine had shot herself — and admitted to holding the gun to her head and being surprised when it discharged. No firearm or shell casings were recovered at the scene, and investigators believe the weapon was hidden.

The first trial ended in a mistrial after the presiding judge contracted COVID-19; a new trial was tentatively set for January and Moron remained in custody at the Lamb County Detention Center. Does anyone in Littlefield have information about Jasmine, the events that night, or the location of the firearm?
