41 Inmates Charged With Murder Remain in Lubbock County Detention Center

Although homicides decreased in Lubbock in 2023, there are still quite a few people booked into the Lubbock County Detention Center on murder or manslaughter charges.

Some have been sentenced and are awaiting transportation to prison. Others are stuck in a lengthy legal limbo with the case against them.

Murder and manslaughter trials require a massive effort on the part of detectives, prosecutors, forensic scientists, and the accused's defense team. That is why the average murder case can take one or two years to resolve, sometimes longer.

Here is a look at every person currently held by the Lubbock County Detention Center on these serious charges. From vehicular manslaughter to a shooting rampage, it's bonky tonky days out here in West Texas.
