Two years to the day after a 32-year-old man was found dead in a Lubbock alley, the case remains unsolved.
Officers discovered Ernest Deanthony Turman deceased with gunshot wounds near the Eagle Pointe Town Homes in the area of 66th Street and Avenue R.
He was found October 5, 2014. No suspect has been publicly named by Lubbock Police.
“No words to express the hurt, the pain,” Turman’s sister Jessica Phillips said in the days after his death. “Having to go another day, knowing that your baby brother’s not here. Somebody that you helped raise, is not here, because a coward took his life.”
“We love him, and we’ll never forget about him,” she said.
Back in 2014, police described the suspect as a black male with long hair, between 5’8″ and 5’10” tall, and approximately 210 pounds.
In 2014, police asked the public for assistance on the case. Law enforcement received numerous Crime Line tips, police said, and LPD asked anyone who had previously called to dial in again.
