Tyshaun Bates, a 20-year-old man from Lubbock, Texas, was shot and killed during a robbery at his apartment in the 4600 block of 50th Street on April 10, 2019. The shooting occurred while Bates was selling marijuana from his apartment; two masked men entered and one of them shot him. A woman, Lisa Marie Morales, 24, had gone to Bates’ apartment to buy marijuana and said she stepped outside to get more money from her car just before the two armed men entered.

Authorities identified one of the armed men as Daytron Deon Hood, 22, who was arrested and charged with murder. Other defendants were arrested on related charges: Lisa Morales on aggravated robbery, Quawnard Williams for assault, and several others prosecuted in connection with the robbery and killing. James Dora was convicted and sentenced to 45 years, and Christopher Thomas accepted a plea and received 45 years. Bates’ mother, LaTissue Butler, has publicly forgiven those involved and keeps his memory alive with photos.
