Christopher Jolly was 17 when he was shot and killed in Lubbock, Texas, on May 4, 2020. Police responded in the early morning to a shots-fired call in the 2600 block of East Baylor Street and found Jolly on the ground with gunshot wounds; he was taken to University Medical Center and died there.

Investigators say two men, Jeremiah Anthony Guerrero, 22, and Derik Edmond, 22, both of Lubbock, approached the vehicle where Jolly was seated. Guerrero, also known as Bruno, reportedly displayed a pistol, struck the car’s hood and ordered Jolly out. As Jolly attempted to flee, shots were fired and he was struck. Witnesses placed Guerrero and Edmond at the scene and both were arrested and charged with murder.

Authorities tied the killing to gang-related activity. An 18-year-old, Latravian Brantley, was later arrested in connection to the case and charged with deadly conduct with a firearm after a separate February 2021 mall shooting that investigators say was linked to Jolly’s death. If anyone knew Christopher Jolly or has information about the events that night, please share what is known.
