Brenden McGuire was a 17-year-old from Lubbock, Texas, who died after being brought to University Medical Center with a gunshot wound on the night of January 27, 2018. He was pronounced dead later that night. Brenden was described as outgoing and close to family and friends, and enjoyed basketball, biking and video games.

According to police, the vehicle that brought him to the ER left the scene immediately. The Lubbock Police Department opened a Persons Crime Unit investigation; a juvenile was arrested and charged with Brenden’s murder, and 18-year-old Chrystan Robin was charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. Detectives continued to investigate the case.

Years later Devorian Johnson, who was 16 at the time of the shooting, received a four-year sentence after violating probation tied to a manslaughter charge in Brenden’s death; he had originally been charged with murder and was given credit for time already served. If anyone knew Brenden or has information about what happened that night, please share it with investigators.
