Guadalupe Esquivel Jr., a 51-year-old Hispanic man, died on August 25, 2014, in Lubbock, Texas, after a confrontation with police at an apartment in a northwestern Lubbock neighborhood. The incident began with a domestic dispute and threats Esquivel reportedly made toward his ex-girlfriend and her children. When officers arrived, Esquivel allegedly brandished a pistol and raised it toward officers; one officer fired 11 shots, killing him.

A patrol car camera recorded the shooting. Assistant Police Chief Greg Stevens described the officers as responding to the perceived threat. The shooting prompted an investigation into whether the use of force was justified; officials concluded it was a justified use of force in self-defense and no arrests were made. The family and community sought answers and closure after the death.

Does anyone have information about Esquivel’s movements that day or additional details about the apartment confrontation?
