An arrest warrant, made available Wednesday morning, provided a few more details about the shooting death of Landon Terry. The warrant described Casey Owens, 38, as a jealous ex-boyfriend of the woman who lived at the location of the shooting.
Lubbock Police were called Friday morning to the 6000 block of 88th Street because of a 9-1-1 hang-up call. Officers found that Terry had been shot “four or five” times. He was pronounced dead at University Medical Center.
Owens suspected that Terry was dating the woman, but she told police she had not even met Terry until after Owens threatened him.
The woman told police that she and Terry were Facebook friends. She also told police that she believed Owens had a drug addiction to crystal meth.
She told police that she was expecting Terry to come by Friday morning. Before he arrived, she heard a strange noise in her home. A police report said Owens was hiding in the home, and the woman did not know it.
“She located Casey Owens in her residence,” the arrest warrant said. “She tried to call for help but Casey took her cellphone and he pulled out a black pistol from his backside waistband. He pointed the pistol at her face and threaten to shoot her.”
“Casey told her that he knows Landon [Terry] is coming over,” the warrant said.
She went to her bedroom to call 9-1-1 from another phone. She told police she thought Owens answered the front door when Terry came over. She heard shots, and Owens ran off.
Owens called police the next day to turn himself in. He was held Wednesday in the Lubbock County Detention Center for murder on a $500,000 bond.
