Leonardo Pollard, 25, was found shot inside a home in the 1900 block of East Colgate Avenue in Lubbock and taken to University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead after being discovered just after 12:30 p.m. on June 13, 2025. Investigators say a witness told them Pollard had been sleeping on a living-room couch when a man known by the street name Crazy came to the door asking for a relative and to borrow a phone. The witness said Pollard stepped outside to hand over his phone, the door slammed, then four sharp pops were heard. She said she found Pollard on the floor while the man stood over him going through his pockets and pointed a small pistol at her as she moved toward them, then fled to the back of the house.

Police later associated Crazy with 22-year-old Jeremiah Lawrence, showed the witness a driver’s-license photo she identified, and obtained a murder warrant the evening of June 13. Lawrence was arrested the next morning, June 14, by Lubbock County Sheriff’s deputies and booked on a murder charge; a Lubbock County grand jury later indicted him and reports noted bond set at $350,000. The community has since remembered Leonardo Pollard by name and date. If anyone knew Leonardo, was at the home that day, or has information about what happened, please share what you know.
