Two brothers were killed during an Easter Sunday shooting in Lubbock. On March 31, 2024, 33-year-old Jeremy Bermea and 36-year-old Johnny Bermea died after an exchange of gunfire that erupted at a family gathering in the 1900 block of 36th Street. The shooting followed a separate domestic dispute earlier that day; family members, including Jeremy and Johnny, armed themselves and went to the residence of the person involved, where a heated argument turned into roughly two minutes of gunfire. A third person, 48-year-old Jose Lopez, was seriously wounded.

Law enforcement arrested four people in connection with the incident: 19-year-old Johnny Bermea Jr., charged with aggravated assault; 21-year-old Andrew Espinosa, charged with aggravated assault; and 37-year-old Henry Bermea and 36-year-old Erica Jimenez, each charged with abandoning or endangering a child. All four posted bond and were released from the Lubbock County Detention Center.
