Matthew Wayne Pickett, 30, of Lubbock, Texas, was fatally shot on March 9, 2018 while dog-sitting at his brother’s apartment. He was born November 6, 1987, and is survived by his parents, Wayne and Daphne Scott Pickett, his wife Christy, and several siblings. A memorial service was held March 18, 2018, at St. Benedict’s Chapel in Lubbock.

Investigators identified 23-year-old Trayvion Deshawn Caro on surveillance footage entering the apartment and leaving shortly after the shooting; the footage also showed an explosion out of the apartment’s front window. Caro was arrested and charged with murder; the investigation later concluded he acted alone and that robbery was the believed motive. Arthur Moore Jr., 41, was initially named a person of interest but was not charged.

Does anyone have memories of Matthew or information about that day that could help preserve the record of what happened?
