Robert John Dendy, 49, of Lubbock, Texas, was shot and killed on July 6, 2019, after confronting two people who were attempting to break into a neighbor’s home. He approached the burglary in progress because the intruders were trying to steal drugs and money, and was fatally shot during the confrontation.

Investigators linked several suspects to the crime through witness statements and evidence found at the scene. Ivan Fierro-Miranda, 26, admitted driving the suspects to the house and providing the firearm; he was later convicted of murder and received a 40-year prison sentence. Kyi Baker, 21 at the time, and a 14-year-old juvenile were also charged with murder, and their cases were pending at the time Fierro-Miranda was sentenced.
