Brittany Blakely, 28, of Lubbock, Texas, was found unresponsive inside a residence near downtown Lubbock on the evening of February 21, 2025, and was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities say she had been shot during an altercation involving two individuals. Emergency crews initially responded to a reported robbery in progress, a call that investigators later determined was false.

Two people — 19-year-old Ariyah Jimenez and 27-year-old Nathaniel Moreno — were arrested after Blakely’s death and charged in connection with the killing. Court documents allege the pair left Blakely bleeding on the floor without attempting to help and provided misleading information to authorities. Investigators from the Lubbock Metropolitan Special Crimes Unit and the Forensic Investigation Unit handled the case; indictments allege manslaughter for Jimenez and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence for Moreno. Both were held at the Lubbock County Detention Center on a $250,000 bond.

Blakely is remembered by family and friends for her vibrant personality and is survived by a daughter. Does anyone in the Lubbock area have information about what happened that night or knew Brittany?
