Lubbock's Metropolitan Special Crimes Unit is asking for the public’s help identifying and locating the second suspect, and a vehicle, involved in an Aug. 7 shooting in east Lubbock that left one person dead.

The search continues following the arrest of one suspect at 3:41 p.m. Aug. 12 in connection with the killing of 22-year-old Brandon Lloyd, according to a police news release. The now 17-year-old suspect, who was a juvenile at the time of the crime, turned himself in to the Lubbock County Juvenile Justice Center without incident.

Lubbock police received a call for service for shots fired to the area of East 42nd Street and Avenue A. Officers responded, and found Lloyd with a gunshot wound in the 100 block of East 42nd Street.
